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 ...

An irradiated brown-dwarf companion to an accreting white dwarf [PDF]
Nature, 2016 Interacting compact binary systems provide a natural laboratory in which to study irradiated substellar objects. As the mass-losing secondary (donor) in these systems makes a transition from the stellar to the substellar regime, it is also irradiated by ...

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.

A giant planet candidate transiting a white dwarf [PDF]
Nature, 2020 Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the Solar System1, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into white dwarfs.

New Conductive Opacities for White Dwarf Envelopes [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Thanks to their continuous cooling and relative simplicity, white dwarf stars are routinely used to measure the ages of stellar populations. The usefulness of white dwarfs as cosmochronometers depends on the availability of accurate cooling models. A key

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.

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

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.

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.
