EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has allowed us to increase the number of known white dwarfs by a factor of five and consequently the number of known pulsating white dwarfs also by a factor of five.

Polluted white dwarfs reveal exotic mantle rock types on exoplanets in our solar neighborhood [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 While some exoplanets that once orbited Polluted white dwarfs are similar to Earth, most appear to have rock types that are exotic to our Solar System. We thus develop a new classification scheme to describe these new and novel lithologies that appear to

The Astrophysical JournalWe increase the spectroscopic completeness of the 100 pc white dwarf sample in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey footprint with 840 additional spectra. Our spectroscopy is 86% complete for white dwarfs hotter than T _eff = 5000 K, where H α remains visible ...

Odessa 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 ...

Ultra-low-mass and small-radius white dwarfs made of heavy elements
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Seven possible ultra-low-mass and small-radius white dwarfs have been recently identified, with masses ranging from ∼0.02 M⊙ to ∼0.08 M⊙ and radii ranging from ∼ 4,270 km to 10670 km.

Proceedings of Supernovae: lights in the darkness — PoS(SUPERNOVA), 2008 Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are explosions in accreting white dwarfs, but the exact scenario leading to these explosions is still unclear. An important step to clarify this point is to understand the behaviour of accreting white dwarfs in close binary systems.

Magnetism in white Dwarfs [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1971 Searches have been made for the normal and quadratic Zeeman effect and broad-band circular polarization in white dwarf stars. A positive effect has been found in Grw + 70°8247 whose continuum shows both linear and circular polarization.

Explosion of White Dwarfs [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1987 AbstractWe present models for Type I supernova light curves based on the explosion of partially solid white dwarfs in close binary systems. Studies of such explosions show that they leave bound remnants of different size. Our results reproduce quite well the maximun luminosities, the expansion velocities and the shape of the light curve.

White Dwarf and Pre-White Dwarf Pulsations [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009 In this review I describe the basic properties of white dwarfs and their pulsations. I then discuss some of the areas in which the pulsations can provide meaningful results, such as internal chemical profiles, possible emission of “exotic” particles, planet detection, crystallization, convection, accretion, and cosmochronology.
