Evidence 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...
متن کاملPlanet Limits around the Pulsating White Dwarf GD 66
We present infrared observations in search of a planet around the white dwarf, GD66. Timeseries photometry of GD66 shows a variation in the arrival time of stellar pulsations consistent with the presence of a planet with mass ≥2.4MJ. Any such planet is too close to the star to be resolved, but the planet’s light can be directly detected as an excess flux at 4.5μm. We observed GD66 with the two ...
متن کاملSe p 20 05 MID - INFRARED OBSERVATIONS OF THE WHITE DWARF BROWN DWARF BINARY GD 1400
Fluxes are measured for the DA white dwarf plus brown dwarf pair GD 1400 with the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope. GD 1400 displays an infrared excess over the entire 3 − 8µm region consistent with the presence of a mid-to late-type L dwarf companion. A discussion is given regarding current knowledge of this unique system.
متن کاملNew DA white dwarf evolutionary models and their pulsational properties
In this letter we investigate the pulsational properties of ZZ Ceti stars on the basis of new white dwarf evolutionary models calculated in a self-consistent way with the predictions of time dependent element diffusion and nuclear burning. In addition, full account is taken of the evolutionary stages prior to the white dwarf formation. Emphasis is placed on the trapping properties of such model...
متن کاملOn mode trapping in pulsating DA white dwarf stars
The present work is designed to explore the effects of the time-dependent element diffusion on the mode trapping properties of DA white dwarf models with various thickness of the hydrogen envelope. Our predictions are compared with the standard assumption of diffusive equilibrium in the trace element approximation. We find that element diffusion markedly weakens the presence of mode trapping or...
