Magnetic white dwarf stars [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996 NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document. Three aspects of magnetic white dwarf stars are studied to aid in the understanding of stellar evolution. A survey of ~ 50 DC white dwarf stars was conducted in circular spectropolarimetry to search for magnetic fields [...] 30 kG. Four

An overview of white dwarf stars [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We present a brief summary of what is currently known about white dwarf stars, with an emphasis on their evolutionary and internal properties. As is well known, white dwarfs represent the end products of stellar evolution for the vast majority of stars ...

ULTRACAM observations of two accreting white dwarf pulsators [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we present high time-resolution observations of GW Librae (GW Lib) and SDSS J161033.64-010223.3 (SDSS 1610) - two cataclysmic variables which have shown periodic variations attributed to non-radial pulsations of the white dwarf (WD).

The evolutionary state of short-period magnetic white dwarf binaries [PDF]
, 2012 We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of two new short-period low accretion rate magnetic binaries, SDSS J125044.42+154957.3 (Porb= 86 min) and SDSS J151415.65+074446.5 (Porb= 89 min).

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.

Stark Broadening and White Dwarfs
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 ...

Evolutionary and Pulsational Properties of Ultra-massive White Dwarfs. The Role of Oxygen-Neon Phase Separation. [PDF]
, 2018 The 21st European Workshop on White Dwarfs was held in Austin, TX from July 23rd to 27th of 2018Ultra-massive hydrogen-rich white dwarf stars are expected to harbour oxygen/neon cores resulting from semidegenerate carbon burning when the progenitor ...
