Shocking and Mass Loss of Compact Donor Stars in Type Ia Supernovae

The Astrophysical Journal
Type Ia supernovae arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs accreting from a binary companion. Following the explosion, the surviving donor star leaves at roughly its orbital velocity.

Resistance Drift of Phase Change Materials Beyond the Power Law

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The timedependent resistance of phase change materials is important for their application as electronic memory. Here, resistance measurements of melt‐quenched germanium telluride from nanoseconds to minutes are presented. By going far beyond the usually considered measurement regime, deviations from the ubiquitous power law behavior are observed, that ...

A Dynamical Model for IRAS 00500+6713: The Remnant of a Type Iax Supernova SN 1181 Hosting a Double Degenerate Merger Product WD J005311

The Astrophysical Journal
IRAS 00500+6713 is a hypothesized remnant of a Type Iax supernova SN 1181. Multiwavelength observations have revealed its complicated morphology; a dusty infrared ring is sandwiched by the inner and outer X-ray nebulae. We analyze the archival X-ray data

Are sdAs helium core stars?

Open Astronomy, 2017
Evolved stars with a helium core can be formed by non-conservative mass exchange interaction with a companion or by strong mass loss. Their masses are smaller than 0.5 M⊙. In the database of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), there are several thousand

New white dwarf and subdwarf stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 [PDF]

, 2015
We report the discovery of 6576 new spectroscopically confirmed white dwarf and subdwarf stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12. We obtain Teff, log g and mass for hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf stars (DAs) and helium atmosphere white dwarf stars (DBs), estimate the calcium/helium abundances for the white dwarf stars with metallic lines

Magnetic White Dwarf Stars [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996
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 DC stars were discovered with magnetic fields above 30 kG: G 111-49 with Be ~ -220 MG, G 183-35 with Be= +6.8 ± 0.5 MG ...

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Following the Pulsations in the Long-term Cooling of GW Librae and V386 Serpentis

The Astronomical Journal
GW Lib and V386 Ser are dwarf novae systems containing pulsating white dwarfs that underwent large 8–9 mag amplitude outbursts in 2007 and 2019, respectively.

Asteroseismology of white dwarf stars [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1995
Perhaps the hardest scientific problems to solve are those most scientists believe have already been solved, but which have not. Any model we make of an astronomical process is doomed to be incomplete at some level; the “broad-brush” picture of stellar structure and evolution is often accepted as a solved problem, but in fact many discrepancies exist ...

Histochemical indications for a chemically complex signal produced by the cervical gill slit gland of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland
