HE 0241 - 0155 - Evidence for a large scale homogeneous field in a highly magnetic white dwarf ⋆
In the course of the Hamburg/ESO survey we have discovered a white dwarf whose spectrum exhibits many similarities with the prototype of magnetic white dwarfs Grw+70◦8247. In particular several stationary line components indicative for magnetic fields between about 150 and 400 MG are found in both objects. However, the features between 5000 and 5500 Å in the spectrum of HE0241-0155 cannot be ex...
متن کاملThe pecular magnetic field morphology of the white dwarf WD 1953 - 011 : evidence for a large - scale magnetic flux tube ?
We present and interpret new spectropolarimetric observations of the magnetic white dwarf WD1953-011. Circular polarization and intensity spectra of the Hα spectral line demonstrate the presence of two-component magnetic field in the photosphere of this star. The geometry consists of a weak, large scale component, and a strong, localized component. Analyzing the rotationally modulated low-field...
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...
متن کاملChandra Observation of V426 Oph: Weighing the Evidence for a Magnetic White Dwarf
We report the results of a 45 ks Chandra observation of the cataclysmic variable V426 Ophiuchus. The high resolution spectrum from the high-energy transmission grating spectrometer is most consistent with a cooling flow model, placing V426 Oph among the group of CVs including U Gem and EX Hya. An uninterrupted lightcurve was also constructed, in which we detect a significant 4.2 hr modulation t...
متن کاملSi:P as a laboratory analogue for hydrogen on high magnetic field white dwarf stars.
Laboratory spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen in a magnetic flux density of 10(5) T (1 gigagauss), the maximum observed on high-field magnetic white dwarfs, is impossible because practically available fields are about a thousand times less. In this regime, the cyclotron and binding energies become equal. Here we demonstrate Lyman series spectra for phosphorus impurities in silicon up to the equiva...
