Galaxies, 2023 In this paper, the possibility of periodic pulsar-like gamma-ray emission from the white dwarfs in AE Aquarii and AR Scorpii is investigated. We show that the white dwarf magnetospheres in AE Aquarii and AR Scorpii can possibly induce potentials to ...

HST Spectra of GW Librae: A Hot Pulsating White Dwarf in a Cataclysmic Variable [PDF]
, 2002 We have obtained Hubble Space Telescope UV spectra of the white dwarf in GW Lib, the only known non-radially pulsating white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable, and the first known DAZQ variable. The UV light curve reveals large amplitude (10%) pulsationsin

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 ...

A New Generation of Cool White Dwarf Atmosphere Models. I. Theoretical Framework and Applications to DZ Stars [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The photospheres of the coolest helium-atmosphere white dwarfs are characterized by fluidlike densities. Under those conditions, standard approximations used in model atmosphere codes are no longer appropriate. Unfortunately, the majority of cool He-rich

White dwarfs in the WTS: Eclipsing binaries
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We have identified photometric white dwarf candidates in the WFCAM transit survey through a reduced proper motion versus colour approach. Box-fitting with parameters adjusted to detect the unique signature of a white dwarf + planet/brown dwarf transit ...

White-Dwarf Asteroseismology With the Kepler Space Telescope
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 In the course of their evolution, white-dwarf stars go through at least one phase of variability in which the global pulsations they undergo allow astronomers to peer into their interiors, making it possible to shed light on their deep inner structure ...

The Post-Common Envelope and Pre-Cataclysmic Binary PG 1224+309 [PDF]
, 1998 We have made extensive spectroscopic and photometric observations of PG 1224+309, a close binary containing a DA white dwarf primary and an M4+ secondary. The H alpha line is in emission due to irradiation of the M-star by the hot white dwarf and is seen

Sub-Chandrasekhar-mass White Dwarf Detonations Revisited [PDF]
, 2017 The detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf (WD) has emerged as one of the most promising Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor scenarios. Recent studies have suggested that the rapid transfer of a very small amount of helium from one WD to ...

A refined search for pulsations in white dwarf companions to millisecond pulsars★ [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We present optical high-speed photometry of three millisecond pulsars with low-mass ($< 0.3 M_{\odot}$) white dwarf companions, bringing the total number of such systems with follow-up time-series photometry to five.
