Asteroseismology of DA white dwarf stars [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 1998 Following the recent mode identification by Clemens suggesting the hydrogen layer mass of the DAV (ZZ Ceti) stars is nearly the same, I make the extreme assumption that models with a single composition profile with a hydrogen layer mass of 1.5 × 10−4M* may be able to fit the observed pulsation periods.

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 ...

A Chondritic Solar Neighborhood
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 A persistent question in exoplanet demographics is whether exoplanetary systems form from similar compositional building blocks to our own. Polluted white dwarf stars offer a unique way to address this question, as they provide measurements of the bulk ...

Catalog of Magnetic White Dwarfs with Hydrogen Dominated Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 White dwarfs are excellent research laboratories as they reach temperatures, pressures, and magnetic fields that are unattainable on Earth. To better understand how these three physical parameters interact with each other and with other stellar features,

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 ASASSN-V J205543.90+240033.5 (ASJ2055) is a possible post-common-envelope binary system. Its optical photometric data show an orbital variation of about 0.52 days and a fast period modulation of P _0 ∼ 9.77 minutes, whose origin is unknown.

International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2017 White dwarf stars are the final stage of most stars, born single or in multiple systems. We discuss the identification, magnetic fields, and mass distribution for white dwarfs detected from spectra obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey up to Data Release 13 in 2016, which lead to the increase in the number of spectroscopically identified white ...

Maximum mass ratio of AM CVn-type binary systems and maximum white dwarf mass in ultra-compact X-ray binaries [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2011 AM CVn-type stars and ultra-compact X-ray binaries are extremely interesting semi-detached close binary systems in which the Roche lobe filling component is a white dwarf transferring mass to another white dwarf, neutron star or a black hole ...

Cooling Process of White Dwarf Stars in Palatini f(R) Gravity
Universe, 2022 A simple cooling model of white dwarf stars is re-analyzed in Palatini f(R) gravity. Modified gravity affects the white dwarf structures and consequently their ages.

Asteroseismology of pulsating DA white dwarfs with fully evolutionary models
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We present a new approach for asteroseismology of DA white dwarfs that consists in the employment of a large set of non-static, physically sound, fully evolutionary models representative of these stars.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 AllS single stars that are born with masses up to 8.5–10 M _⊙ will end their lives as white dwarf (WD) stars. In this evolutionary stage, WDs enter the cooling sequence, where the stars radiate away their thermal energy and are basically cooling.
