The evolution of helium white dwarfs I .
We present a grid of evolutionary tracks for low-mass white dwarfs with helium cores in the mass range from 0.179 to 0.414 M . The lower mass limit is well-suited for comparison with white dwarf companions of millisecond pulsars. The tracks are based on a 1 M model sequence extending from the pre-main sequence stage up to the tip of the red-giant branch. Applying large mass loss rates at approp...
متن کاملHelium-Core White Dwarfs in Globular Clusters
We examine the theoretical implications of a population of low-mass heliumcore white dwarfs in globular clusters. In particular, we focus on the observed population in the core of NGC 6397, where several low-mass white dwarf canditates have been identified as “non-flickerers” by Cool and collaborators. Age and mass estimates from cooling models, combined with dynamical and evolutionary consider...
متن کاملHelium Core White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Binary evolution predicts a population of helium core (M < 0.5 M⊙) white dwarfs (WDs) that are slowly accreting hydrogen-rich material from low mass main sequence or brown dwarf donors with orbital periods less than four hours. Four binaries are presently known in the Milky Way that will reach such a mass-transferring state in a few Gyr. Despite these predictions and observations of progenitor ...
متن کاملDetailed Spectroscopic and Photometric Analysis of DQ White Dwarfs
We present an analysis of spectroscopic and photometric observations of cool DQ white dwarfs based on improved model atmosphere calculations. In particular , we revise the atmospheric parameters of the trigonometric parallax sample of Bergeron, Leggett, & Ruiz, and discuss the astrophysical implications on the temperature scale and mean mass, as well as the chemical evolution of these stars. We...
متن کاملOn the Spectral Evolution of Cool, Helium-Atmosphere White Dwarfs: Detailed Spectroscopic and Photometric Analysis of DZ Stars
We present a detailed analysis of a large spectroscopic and photometric sample of DZ white dwarfs based on our latest model atmosphere calculations. We revise the atmospheric parameters of the trigonometric parallax sample of Bergeron, Leggett, & Ruiz (12 stars) and analyze 147 new DZ white dwarfs discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The inclusion of metals and hydrogen in our model atmo...
