Stark Broadening and White Dwarfs [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 2011 White dwarf and pre-white dwarfs are the best types of stars for the application of Stark broadening research results in astrophysics, since in the atmospheres of these stars physical conditions are very favorable for this line broadening mechanism - in ...

Modelling quantum aspects of disruption of a white dwarf star by a black hole [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 We study the final stages of the evolution of a binary system consisted of a black hole and a white dwarf star. We implement the quantum hydrodynamic equations and carry out numerical simulations.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 The recognition that planets may survive the late stages of stellar evolution, and the prospects for finding them around White Dwarfs, are growing. We discuss two aspects governing planetary survival through stellar evolution to the White Dwarf stage ...

UBVR Photometry of white dwarfs and white dwarfs suspects [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1972 Photoelectric UBVr photometry is presented for 33 white-dwarf suspects from the Lowell Observatory lists. On the basis of (B- V) and (U- B) color indices, eight probable white dwarfs are identffied.

ELOVL5 and VLDLR synergistically affect n-3 PUFA deposition in eggs of different chicken breeds [PDF]
Poultry Science: There was no significant difference in the composition and content of fatty acids in eggs among different breeds initially, but following the supplementation of flaxseed oil, Dwarf Layer were observed to deposit more n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ...

A Mini-Review of Accreting Pulsating White Dwarfs
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The discovery in 1998 of a pulsating white dwarf in the cataclysmic variable GW Lib opened up a new avenue of exploration in the asteroseismology of white dwarfs.

Space Science Reviews, 2015 In this paper we review the current status of research on the observational and theoretical characteristics of isolated and binary magnetic white dwarfs (MWDs). Magnetic fields of isolated MWDs are observed to lie in the range 10^3-10^9G. While the upper limit cutoff appears to be real, the lower limit is more difficult to investigate. The incidence of

Proceedings of Supernovae: lights in the darkness — PoS(SUPERNOVA), 2008 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.

White Dwarf and Pre-White Dwarf Pulsations [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009 In this review I describe the basic properties of white dwarfs and their pulsations. I then discuss some of the areas in which the pulsations can provide meaningful results, such as internal chemical profiles, possible emission of “exotic” particles, planet detection, crystallization, convection, accretion, and cosmochronology.
