Lessons for Asteroseismology from White Dwarf Stars
The interpretation of pulsation data for Sun-like stars is currently facing challenges quite similar to those faced by white dwarf modelers ten years ago. The observational requirements for uninterrupted long-term monitoring are beginning to be satisfied by successful multi-site campaigns and dedicated satellite missions. But exploration of the most important physical parameters in theoretical ...
متن کاملTime dependent diffusion in pulsating white dwarf stars: Asteroseismology of G117-B15A
We study the structural characteristic of the variable DA white dwarf G117B-15A by applying the methods of asteroseismology. For such a purpose, we construct white dwarf evolutionary models considering a detailed and up to date physical description as well as several processes responsible for the occurrence of element diffusion. We have considered several thickness for the outermost hydrogen la...
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 کاملDiffusion of neon in white dwarf stars.
Sedimentation of the neutron rich isotope 22Ne may be an important source of gravitational energy during the cooling of white dwarf stars. This depends on the diffusion constant for 22Ne in strongly coupled plasma mixtures. We calculate self-diffusion constants D(i) from molecular dynamics simulations of carbon, oxygen, and neon mixtures. We find that D(i) in a mixture does not differ greatly f...
متن کاملRotation velocities of white dwarf stars ?
The narrow Hα line cores observed with the Keck high resolution spectrograph of thirteen hydrogen-rich (DA) white dwarfs are analysed using line blanketed Non-LTE model atmospheres. The synthetic line profiles reproduce the observed line cores very well. Hence no evidence for additional line broadening due to rotation or to magnetic fields can be found. Statistical upper limits to the projected...
