A White Dwarf Discovery Machine Stefan Jordan
Gaia is a satellite mission of the ESA, aiming at absolute astro-metric measurements of about one billion stars (V < 20) with unprecedented accuracy. Additionally, magnitudes and colors will be obtained for all these stars, while radial-velocities will be determined only for bright objects (V < 17.5). However, the wavelength range for the radial-velocity instrument is rather unsuitable for most...
متن کاملA Spitzer White Dwarf Infrared Survey
We present mid-infrared photometry of 124 white dwarf stars with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Objects were observed simultaneously at 4.5 and 8.0 mwith sensitivities better than 0.1mJy. This data set can be used to testmodels of white dwarf atmospheres in a newwavelength regime, aswell as to search for planetary companions and debris disks. Subject headings: infrared: stars — surveys — white dw...
متن کاملDiscovery of an Ultracool White Dwarf Companion
The discovery of a low luminosity common proper motion companion to the white dwarf GD392 at a wide separation of 46 is reported. BV RIJHK photometry strongly indicates suppressed flux at all near infrared wavelengths. Thus, GD392B is one of the few white dwarfs to show collision-induced absorption due to the presence of photospheric H2 and the first ultracool white dwarf detected as a companio...
متن کاملWhite Dwarf Masses in Magnetic CVs : Multi - temperatureFits to
One method of obtaining the mass of the white dwarf in magnetic CVs is through their hard X-ray spectra. However, previous mass estimates using this method give lower limits because the temperature of the plasma in the post-shock region (where the hard X-rays are emitted) is lower than the temperature of the shock itself. In AM Her systems, the additional cooling of the post-shock plasma by cyc...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Methane Dwarf from the Ifa-deep Survey
We present the discovery of a distant methane dwarf, the first from the Institute for Astronomy (IfA) Deep Survey. The object (“IfA 0230-Z1”) was identified from deep optical I and z-band imaging, being conducted as an IfA-wide collaboration using the prime-focus imager Suprime-Cam on the Subaru 8.2-m Telescope. IfA 0230-Z1 is extremely red in the IzJ (0.8–1.2 μm) bands but relatively blue in J...
