Two new white dwarfs with variable magnetic Balmer emission lines

نویسندگان

چکیده

We report the discovery of two apparently isolated stellar remnants that exhibit rotationally modulated magnetic Balmer emission, adding to emerging DAHe class white dwarf stars. While previously discovered members this show Zeeman-split triplet emission features corresponding single field strengths, these new objects significant fluctuations in their apparent strengths with variability phase. The hydrogen lines LP $705{-}64$ broaden from $9.4$ MG $22.2$ over an spin period $72.629$ minutes. Similarly, WD J$143019.29{-}562358.33$ varies $5.8$ $8.9$ its $86.394$-minute rotation period. This brings dwarfs at least five objects, all effective temperatures within $500$ K $8000$ and masses ranging $0.65{-}0.83\,M_{\odot}$.

Envelope tomography of long-period variable stars I. The Schwarzschild mechanism and the Balmer emission lines

This paper is the first one in a series devoted to the study of the dynamics of the atmospheres of long-period variable (LPV) stars. Results from a two-month-long monitoring of the Mira variables RT Cyg and X Oph around maximum light with the ELODIE spectrograph at the Haute-Provence Observatory are presented. The monitoring covers phases 0.80 to 1.16 for RT Cyg and phases 0.83 to 1.04 for X Op...

Magnetic Accretion Onto White Dwarfs

The influence of the magnetic field on process of the accretion onto White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) is discussed. Except for the Polars or AM Her objects, the strength of magnetic field can not be measured directly in CVs by modern techniques. But there is growing evidence that most of the types of Cataclysmic Variables classified on the basis of their observational characteristics...

Accretion onto Magnetic White Dwarfs

Recent developments in the accretion onto magnetic white dwarfs are reviewed. Accreting magnetic white dwarfs display many of the characteristics of accreting systems of a galactic scale, with the advantage that in these systems the accreting material is collimated into a relatively well-determined 1-dimensional ow.

Two white dwarfs with oxygen-rich atmospheres.

Stars with masses ranging from 7 to 10 times the mass of the Sun end their lives either as massive white dwarfs or weak type II supernovae, but there are only limited observational constraints on either evolutionary channel. Here we report the detection of two white dwarfs with large photospheric oxygen abundances, implying that they are bare oxygen-neon cores and that they may have descended f...

Progress in Modeling Magnetic White Dwarfs

The analysis of magnetic white dwarfs has made considerable progress since the last white dwarf workshop: 1. It could be shown that neither the magnetic white dwarf Grw +70◦8247 (Jordan & Friedrich, 2001) nor LP 790−29 (Jordan & Friedrich 2002, Beuermann et al. 2002) are fast rotators (P < 10 min) but are rotating slowly (P > 20 years). 2. Automatic fitting procedures have been developed which ...
