Open Science Project in White Dwarf Research
I will propose a new way of advancing white dwarf research. Open science is a method of doing research that lets everyone who has something to say about the subject take part in the problem solving process. Already now, the amount of information we gather from observations, theory and modelling is too vast for any one individual to comprehend and turn into knowledge. And the amount of informati...
متن کاملA massive white dwarf member of the Coma Berenices Open Cluster
We report the identification, from a photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic study, of a massive white dwarf member of the nearby, approximately solar metalicity, Coma Berenices open star cluster (Melotte 111). We find the optical to near-IR energy distribution of WD1216+260 to be entirely consistent with that of an isolated DA and determine the effective temperature and surface gravity of t...
متن کامل0 The White Dwarf Cooling Age of the Open Cluster NGC 2420 Ted
We have used deep HST WFPC2 observations of two fields in NGC 2420 to produce a cluster CMD down to V ≈ 27. After imposing morphological selection criteria we find eight candidate white dwarfs in NGC 2420. Our completeness estimates indicate that we have found the terminus of the WD cooling sequence. We argue that the cluster distance modulus is likely to be close to 12.10 with E(B−V) = 0.04. W...
متن کاملStar Cluster Survey . III . The White Dwarf Cooling Age of the Rich Open Star Cluster NGC 2099 ( M 37 )
We present deep CCD photometry of the very rich, intermediate aged (similar to the Hyades) open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). The V, B−V color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for the cluster shows an extremely well populated and very tightly constrained main-sequence extending over 12 magnitudes from the turn-off. Both a well defined main-sequence turn-off and a red giant population are also clearly evi...
متن کاملConstraining white - dwarf kicks in globular clusters : III . Cluster Heating
Recent observations of white dwarfs in globular clusters indicate that these stars may get a velocity kick during their time as giants. This velocity kick could originate naturally if the mass loss while on the asymptotic giant branch is slightly asymmetric. The kicks may be large enough to dramatically change the radial distribution of young white dwarfs, giving them larger energies than other...
