There's a new auto-download catalog in the list, namely A Catalogue of Spectroscopically Identified White Dwarfs. Some of the entries are isolated stars drifting alone through space; others are companions to bright stars, for example Sirius B is listed in the catalog as 0642-166.
- Write a function in cat.h/cat.cpp to read the WD catalog and call it from the load_catalogs() function;
- Find or make some kind of cross reference between WD companion stars and their primary star;
- Ensure that any existing orbit inclination/poles are kept. For example, the app shows Sirius' north pole pointing to roughly the direction of Vela.
