White Dwarf Crystallization [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1994 AbstractThe inclusion of a detailed treatment of solidification processes in the cooling theory of carbon–oxygen white dwarfs is of crucial importance for the determination of their luminosity function. Carbon–oxygen separation at crystallization yields delays larger than 2 Gyr to cool down to luminosities corresponding to the observed cut–off.

An irradiated brown-dwarf companion to an accreting white dwarf [PDF]
Nature, 2016 Brown dwarfs and giant planets orbiting close to a host star are subjected to significant irradiation that can modify the properties of their atmospheres. In order to test the atmospheric models that are used to describe these systems, it is necessary to obtain accurate observational estimates of their physical properties (masses, radii, temperatures ...

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 ...

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 ...

Absolute Proper Motions to B~22.5: IV. Faint, Low Velocity White Dwarfs and the White Dwarf Population Density Law [PDF]
, 2001 The reduced proper motion diagram (RPMD) for a complete sample of faint stars with high accuracy proper motions in the North Galactic Pole field SA57 is investigated. Eight stars with very large reduced proper motions are identified as faint white dwarf candidates.

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,

Novel Atmospheric Dynamics Shape the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone around White Dwarfs
The Astrophysical JournalWhite dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to search nearby stellar systems for signs of life, but the habitable zone around these stars is still poorly understood.

A Chondritic Solar Neighborhood
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 A persistent question in exoplanet demographics is whether exoplanetary systems form from similar compositional building blocks to our own. Polluted white dwarf stars offer a unique way to address this question, as they provide measurements of the bulk ...

Presupernova evolution of accreting white dwarfs with rotation [PDF]
Astron.Astrophys. 419 (2004) 623, 2004 We discuss the effects of rotation on the evolution of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs, with the emphasis on possible consequences in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. Starting with a slowly rotating white dwarf, we simulate the accretion of matter and angular momentum from a quasi-Keplerian accretion disk.
