The physics of white dwarfs
White dwarf stars, so called because of the color of the first few to be discovered, occupy a key position in astrophysical theory. Together with neutron stars and black holes, they are the terminal points of stellar evolution. Their properties thus provide clues to the physical processes that take place during the rapid and often spectacular evolutionary stages near the ends of stellar lifetim...
متن کاملAccreting White Dwarfs
Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are explosions in accreting white dwarfs, but the exact scenario leading to these explosions is still unclear. An important step to clarify this point is to understand the behaviour of accreting white dwarfs in close binary systems. The characteristics of the white dwarf (mass, chemical composition, luminosity), the accreted material (chemical composition) and...
متن کاملObservations of Ultracool White Dwarfs
We present new spectroscopic and photometric measurements of the white dwarfs LHS 3250 and WD 0346]246. Along with F351[50, these white dwarfs are the coolest ones known, all with e†ective temperatures below 4000 K. Their membership in the Galactic halo population is discussed, and detailed comparisons of all three objects with new atmosphere models are presented. The new models consider the e†...
متن کاملThe Masses of Population Ii White Dwarfs
Globular star clusters are among the first stellar populations to have formed in the Milky Way, and thus only a small sliver of their initial spectrum of stellar types are still burning hydrogen on the main-sequence today. Almost all of the stars born with more mass than 0.8 M⊙ have evolved to form the white dwarf cooling sequence of these systems, and the distribution and properties of these r...
متن کاملDamping rates of solar-like oscillations across the HR diagram
The space-borne missions CoRoT and Kepler are providing a rich harvest of high-quality constraints on solar-like pulsators. Among the seismic parameters, mode damping rates remains poorly understood and are thus barely used to infer the physical properties of stars. Nevertheless, thanks to the CoRoT and Kepler spacecrafts it is now possible to measure damping rates for hundreds of main-sequence...
