Gravitational Settling of 22ne in Liquid White Dwarf Interiors
The nuclear reactions that occur in the stellar progenitors of white dwarfs (WDs) lead to an internal composition of 12C, 16O, and a “contaminant” nucleus, 22Ne . The 22Ne is produced by helium captures on 14N left from hydrogen burning via the CNO cycle. By virtue of its two excess neutrons (relative to the predominant A = 2Z nuclei), a downward force of ≈ 2mpg is exerted on 22Ne in the WD int...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Background of Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
We discuss the stochastic background of gravitational waves from ultra compact neutron star-white dwarf (NS-WD) binaries at cosmological distances. Under the assumption that accreting neutron stars and donor white dwarf stars form most of the low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), our calculation makes use of recent results related to the luminosity function determined from X-ray observations. Even a...
متن کاملOn the gravitational redshift
The purpose of this paper is twofold to demonstrate that in the gravitational redshift it is the frequency a photon that is constant, and to describe the mechanism responsible for the change of its wavelength. PACS: 04.20.Cv, 04.20.-q It is usually assumed that both frequency and wavelength of a photon in the gravitational redshift change whereas its velocity remains constant. In this note we s...
متن کاملA new white dwarf constraint on the rate of change of the gravitational constant
In this paper we derive a bound on the rate of change of the gravitational constant G coming from the pulsating white dwarf G117-B15A. This star is a ZZ Ceti pulsator extensively studied with astroseismological techniques for last three decades. The most recent determination of Ṗ = (2.3 ± 1.4) × 10 ss for the 215.2 s fundamental mode agrees very well with predictions of the best fit theoretical...
متن کاملthe black hole and the white dwarf
astrophysics is becoming now an integral part of general physics. considering the black hole theory ,which is a new and exciting branch of relativistic astrophysics, we see many connections between elementary particle physics and astrophysics. in this article we attempt to explain the development of star physics ,in an easy ,understandable manner. previous knowledge of relativistic theory or cl...
