A White Dwarf Catalog from LAMOST DR11 Using Deep Learning

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
White dwarfs, also referred to as degenerate dwarfs, represent the ultimate fate for the majority of stars in the Universe, unless their mass is large enough for them to evolve into black holes or neutron stars.

Disk or Companion: Characterizing Excess Infrared Flux in Seven White Dwarf Systems with Near-infrared Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Excess infrared flux from white dwarf stars is likely to arise from a dusty debris disk or a cool companion. In this work, we present near-infrared spectroscopic observations with Keck/MOSFIRE, Gemini/GNIRS, and Gemini/Flamingos-2 of seven white dwarfs ...

Spitzer White Dwarf Planet Limits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present preliminary limits on the presence of planets around white dwarf stars using the IRAC photometer on the Spitzer space telescope. Planets emit strongly in the mid-infrared which allows their presence to be detected as an excess at these ...

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Detection of white dwarf companions to blue stragglers in the open cluster NGC 188: direct evidence for recent mass transfer

open access: yes, 2014
Several possible formation pathways for blue straggler stars have been developed recently, but no one pathway has yet been observationally confirmed for a specific blue straggler.

Stability of the r-modes in white dwarf stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Stability of the r-modes in rapidly rotating white dwarf stars is investigated. Improved estimates of the growth times of the gravitational-radiation driven instability in the r-modes of the observed DQ Her objects are found to be longer (probably ...

Interpreting a Legacy Fossil Assemblage Excavated From Waribruk (New Guinea II Cave), GunaiKurnai Aboriginal Country, Snowy River National Park, Southeastern Australia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we report on faunal remains recovered from a legacy archaeological excavation undertaken in the rockshelter entrance of Waribruk (New Guinea II Cave), a GunaiKurnai site located on the west bank of the Snowy River, East Gippsland, southeastern Australia.

Orbital motion detected in γ Cas Fe K emission lines

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
A subset of Be stars, typified by the naked-eye star γ Cas, exhibits unusually bright and hard X-ray emission, the origin of which has remained debated for five decades.

Know Your Neighborhood: A Detailed Model Atmosphere Analysis of Nearby White Dwarfs

open access: yes, 2012
We present improved atmospheric parameters of nearby white dwarfs lying within 20 pc of the Sun. The aim of the current study is to obtain the best statistical model of the least-biased sample of the white dwarf population.
