The White Dwarf Companions of 56 Per and HR 3643 [PDF]

open access: yesTo be published in PASP (March 1996), 1995
We have obtained low-dispersion IUE spectra of the stars 56 Persei (F4 V) and HR 3643 (F7 II), as part of a survey of late-type stars with a 1565 A flux excess in the TD-1 ultraviolet sky survey. The IUE spectrum of each star reveals the presence of a hot white dwarf companion.

White Dwarf Central Stars [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993
Planetary nebula nuclei on lower luminosity, diagonal tracks in the HR Diagrams are degenerate dwarf stars close to their final radii. For several reasons, these stars have until recently been difficult to identify and study. With the advent of new techniques and technologies, both hydrogen–rich and hydrogen–poor atmospheric sequences have been found.

Cost‐effective in‐mine seismic experiments to image platinum deposits and associated geological structures at Maseve platinum mine, South Africa

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 572-589, December 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The detection of mineral deposits and their related geological structures is of great importance to the mining industry as structures (such as dykes and faults) can affect the safety, cost and efficiency of mining. With the goal of testing cost‐effective seismic methods for mineral exploration and mining, active and passive seismic experiments

The Highly Accurate Relation Between the Radius and Mass of the White Dwarf Star From Zero to Finite Temperature

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
In this research, first considering the electron–electron interaction in the high-density Fermi electron gas at T = 0 K, this interaction causes the pressure 2/137 time less than the original value.

Pulsations in white dwarf stars [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013
AbstractWe first present a brief description of the six distinct families of pulsating white dwarfs that are now known. These are all opacity-driven pulsators showing low- to mid-order, low-degree gravity modes. We then discuss some recent highlights that have come up in the field of white dwarf asteroseismology.

MAGNETISM OF WHITE DWARFS (intermediate results of a survey for kilogauss magnetic fields in white dwarfs)

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
We shortly present intermidiate results of a survey for weak magnetic fields among degenerate stars (white dwarfs and hot subdwarf stars). Kilogauss upper limits of longitudinal magnetic fields are presented for several brightest DA white dwarfs and new ...

Diffusion in helium white dwarf stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
This paper is aimed at exploring the effects of diffusion on the structure and evolution of low-mass helium white dwarfs. To this end, we solve the multicomponent flow equations describing gravitational settling and chemical and thermal diffusion. The diffusion calculations are coupled to an evolutionary code in order to follow the cooling of low-mass,
