The New Class of Dusty Daz White Dwarfs
Our mid-infrared survey of 124 white dwarfs with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the IRAC imager has revealed an infrared excess associatedwith thewhite dwarf WD2115 560 naturally explained by circumstellar dust. This object is the fourth white dwarf observed to have circumstellar dust. All four are DAZ white dwarfs, i.e., they have both photospheric Balmer lines and photospheric metal lines.We...
متن کاملMetal Abundances in Hot DA White Dwarfs
We compare measured element abundances in hot DA white dwarfs from UV observations to predictions from our self-consistent non-LTE model atmosphere diffusion calculations.
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 کاملMass Transfer between Double White Dwarfs
Three periodically variable stars have recently been discovered (V407 Vul, P = 9.5 min; ES Cet, P = 10.3 min; RX J0806.3+1527, P = 5.3 min) with properties that suggest that their photometric periods are also their orbital periods, making them the most compact binary stars known. If true, this might indicate that close, detached, double white dwarfs are able to survive the onset of mass transfe...
متن کاملA search for planetary nebulae around hot white dwarfs ?
We have performed a search for old planetary nebu-lae around hot white dwarfs by direct Hα narrow-band imaging. The 16 examined objects are white dwarfs representing different spectral subtypes, comprising DA and various non-DA stars, among them being PG 1159 stars and white dwarfs exhibiting spectral signatures of ongoing mass-loss by ultra-hot winds. The search was entirely negative – with on...
