Constraints on Remnant Planetary Systems as a Function of Main-sequence Mass with HST/COS
The Astrophysical JournalAs the descendants of stars with masses less than 8 M _⊙ on the main sequence, white dwarfs provide a unique way to constrain planetary occurrence around intermediate-mass stars (spectral types BAF) that are otherwise difficult to measure with radial ...

Strange Dwarfs: A Review on the (in)Stability
UniverseWhite dwarfs are the remnants of stars not massive enough to become supernovae. This review explores the concept of strange dwarfs, a unique class of white dwarfs that contain cores of strange quark matter.

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.

Cold giant planets evaporated by hot white dwarfs [PDF]
, 2019 Atmospheric escape from close-in Neptunes and hot Jupiters around Sun-like stars driven by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) irradiation plays an important role in the evolution of exoplanets and in shaping their ensemble properties.

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.

The effect of $^{22}$Ne diffusion in the evolution and pulsational properties of white dwarfs with solar metallicity progenitors [PDF]
, 2016 Because of the large neutron excess of $^{22}$Ne, this isotope rapidly sediments in the interior of the white dwarfs. This process releases an additional amount of energy, thus delaying the cooling times of the white dwarf.

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 ...

The Pan-STARRS1 Planet Survey: Overview and first results
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 The Pan-STARRS1 Planet Survey (Pan-Planets) is a search for transiting extra-solar planets in the Galactic disk with a focus on planets around M-dwarfs and White dwarfs.

Research Paper: The Effect of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle with Maximum Length on the Size of White Dwarfs [PDF]
فیزیک کاربردی ایرانThe challenge in developing a theory of quantum gravity stems from the fundamentally different ways the two theories describe physical systems. Quantum mechanics operates on discrete, probabilistic principles, while general relativity is a continuous ...

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974 The effects of core crystallization and of convection in the envelope on the cooling of white dwarfs are reviewed. The case of a 0.6 M⊙ white dwarf composed of an oxygen core and a helium envelope is taken as example. Also the amount of hydrogen that a white dwarf can accrete before nuclear burning occurs is estimated and possible evolutionary ...
