White dwarf atmosphere models with Ly - α opacity in the analysis of the white dwarf cooling sequence of NGC 6397
Aims. We discuss the importance of pure hydrogen white dwarf atmosphere models with Ly-α far red wing opacity in the analysis of the white dwarf cooling sequence of the globular cluster NGC 6397. Methods. Our recently improved atmosphere models account for the previously missing opacity from the Ly-α hydrogen line broadened by collisions of the absorbing hydrogen atoms with molecular and atomic...
متن کاملA new magnetic white dwarf: PG 2329+267
We have discovered that the white dwarf PG 2329+267 is magnetic, and, assuming a centred dipole structure, has a dipole magnetic field strength of approximately 2.3 MG. This makes it one of only approximately 4 per cent of isolated white dwarfs with a detectable magnetic field. Linear Zeeman splitting, as well as quadratic Zeeman shifts, is evident in the hydrogen Balmer sequence and circular s...
متن کاملWhite Dwarf Asteroseismology and the 12c(α,γ)16o Rate
Due to a new global analysis method, it is now possible to measure the internal composition of pulsating white dwarf stars, even with relatively simple theoretical models. The precise internal mixture of carbon and oxygen is the largest single source of uncertainty in ages derived from white dwarf cosmochronometry, and contains information about the rate of the astrophysically important, but ex...
متن کاملThe evolutionary state of short-period magnetic white dwarf binaries
We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of two new short-period low accretion rate magnetic binaries, SDSS J125044.42+154957.3 (Porb = 86 min) and SDSS J151415.65+074446.5 (Porb = 89 min). Both systems were previously identified as magnetic white dwarfs from the Zeeman splitting of the Balmer absorption lines in their optical spectra. Their spectral energy distributions exhibit a large near-infr...
متن کاملEvidence for helium in the magnetic white dwarf GD 229
The nature of the strong absorption features in the white dwarf GD 229 has been a real mystery ever since it was found to be magnetic in 1974. All attempts to explain the spectrum by line components of hydrogen failed. With the first sets of newly calculated line data for He I in a strong magnetic field we could identify most of the absorption structures in the spectrum with stationary line com...
