Planet 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 کاملTesting the evolution of the DB white dwarf GD 358: First results of a new approach using asteroseismology
Aims. We present a new method that investigates the evolutionary history of the pulsating DB white dwarf GD 358 using asteroseismology. This is done considering the internal C/O profile, which describes the relative abundances of carbon and oxygen from the core of the star to its surface. Different evolutionary channels lead to the generation of different C/O profiles, and these affect the puls...
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 کاملLessons 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 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...
