Forging Neon-distilling White Dwarfs in the Stellar Engulfments of Helium White Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Once carbon–oxygen white dwarfs cool sufficiently, they crystallize from the inside out. If the white dwarf is rich enough in ^22 Ne, these crystallized solids are buoyant and rapidly rise, efficiently liberating potential energy, which may halt the ...

ON THE EVOLUTION OF MAGNETIC WHITE DWARFS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2015
We present the first radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the atmosphere of white dwarf stars. We demonstrate that convective energy transfer is seriously impeded by magnetic fields when the plasma-beta parameter, the thermal to magnetic pressure ratio, becomes smaller than unity.

White Dwarf and Pre-White Dwarf Oscillations [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1993
AbstractCompact stars that result from extreme mass loss on the asymptotic giant branch and planetary nebula formation are observed to pulsate in a very large surface effective temperature range as they cool to become the classical white dwarfs. The hottest and most luminous of these display periods in excess of 1000 seconds because they are large, but

The DB gap and a new class of pulsating white dwarfs

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The recent systematic surveys providing enormously massive datasets of white dwarfs show that there is still a deficit of a factor of 2.5 in the DA/non-DA ratio within the temperature range of 30 000 K < Teff < 45 000 K, which has been regarded as the ...

Role of Quark Matter and Color Superconductivity in the Structure and Tidal Deformability of Strange Dwarfs

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
In 1995, Glendenning, Kettner and Weber postulated the existence of a new class of compact stars resembling white dwarfs but containing a small strange quark-matter core surrounded by hadronic layers attaining much higher densities than those found in ...

Stellar equilibrium configurations of white dwarfs in the f(R, T) gravity

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
In this work we investigate the equilibrium configurations of white dwarfs in a modified gravity theory, namely, f(R, T) gravity, for which R and T stand for the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively.

A White Dwarf Search Model Based on a Deep Transfer-learning Method

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
White dwarfs represent the ultimate stage of evolution for over 97% of stars and play a crucial role in studies of the Milky Way’s structure and evolution.

Effects of modified gravity on microscopic properties and cooling timescale of white dwarfs

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
There are currently two open questions in white dwarf physics: why are massive dwarfs observed less often in astronomical surveys, and why have not any super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs been found despite the discovery of more than a dozen peculiar ...
