Rotation Velocities of DA White Dwarfs with Convective Atmospheres
The sharp Hα NLTE line cores of hydrogen rich (DA) white dwarfs allow their projected rotational velocities to be determined. High resolution optical spectra of 22 stars obtained with the Keck I telescope are matched by synthetic spectra computed from a grid of NLTE model atmospheres. We concentrate preferentially on hydrogen-rich white dwarfs with convective atmospheres, i.e. with Teff < 14 00...
متن کاملCircumstellar features in hot DA white dwarfs
We present a phenomenological study of highly ionised, non-photospheric absorption features in high spectral resolution vacuum ultraviolet spectra of 23 hot DA white dwarfs. Prior to this study, four of the survey objects (Feige 24, REJ 0457-281, G191B2B and REJ 1614-085) were known to possess these features. We find four new objects with multiple components in one or more of the principal reso...
متن کاملPhotospheric metals in hot DA white dwarfs
Previous observations of the soft X-ray and EUV region with the Einstein, EXOSAT, and ROSAT satellites have indicated thepresenceof photospheric absorbers inmostDAwhite dwarfs with Teff >∼ 40000K. Several of these objects have now been observed with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). Since the detection of individual metal lines is rather difficult with EUVE spectra we chose the well stud...
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 کاملThe evolution of helium white dwarfs I .
We present a grid of evolutionary tracks for low-mass white dwarfs with helium cores in the mass range from 0.179 to 0.414 M . The lower mass limit is well-suited for comparison with white dwarf companions of millisecond pulsars. The tracks are based on a 1 M model sequence extending from the pre-main sequence stage up to the tip of the red-giant branch. Applying large mass loss rates at approp...
