8 C / O white dwarfs of very low mass : 0 . 33 - 0 . 5 M ⊙
نویسندگان
چکیده
The standard lower limit for the mass of white dwarfs (WDs) with a C/O core is roughly 0.5 M⊙. In the present work we investigated the possibility to form C/O WDs with mass as low as 0.33 M⊙. Both the pre-WD and the cooling evolution of such nonstandard models will be described.

Optically Thick Winds from Degenerate Dwarfs. I. Classical Nova of Populations I and II
Twenty six sequences of optically thick wind solutions have calculated which mimic time-dependent evolution of classical novae of populations I and II. The peak of the new opacity around log T = 5:2 due to iron lines is found to be strong enough to accelerate the winds even in very low iron abundance such as Z=0.001 for massive white dwarfs ( 0:8M ). The old population novae show the slow light...

We present detailed evolutionary calculations for carbon oxygen and helium core white dwarf models with masses ranging from M = 0.1 to M = 1.2 M⊙ and for metallicities Z = 0.001 and Z = 0. The sequences cover a wide range of hydrogen envelopes as well. We have taken finite temperature effects fully into account by means of a detailed white dwarf evolutionary code, in which updated radiative opa...

Extremely low mass white dwarfs are very rare objects likely formed in compact binary systems. We present MMT optical spectroscopy of 42 low mass white dwarf candidates serendipitously discovered in a survey for hypervelocity B-type stars. One of these objects, SDSS J0917+46, has Teff = 11,288 ± 72 K and log g = 5.48 ± 0.03; with an estimated mass of 0.17 M⊙, it is the lowest gravity/mass white...

Recent results of microlensing surveys, show that 10-20 % of the dark halo mass of the Milky Way consists of compact objects. The masses of these compact objects range from 0.1 to 1 solar mass. New theoretical cooling models for white dwarfs, and the detection of faint blue high proper motion objects, imply that ancient white dwarfs might make up part of this population. In this pilot project, ...
