When flux standards go wild: white dwarfs in the age of Kepler [PDF]
White dwarf stars have been used as flux standards for decades, thanks to their staid simplicity. We have empirically tested their photometric stability by analyzing the light curves of 398 high-probability candidates and spectroscopically confirmed ...

35Cl NMR of Metal‐Organic Frameworks: What Can We Learn?
35Cl solid‐state NMR of MOFs offers insights into bonding mode and character, hydrogen bonding, phase transitions, and reaction products, even near paramagnetic centers. 35Cl NMR parameters reflect Cl coordination and local geometry. DFT methods accurately predict 35Cl NMR parameters. This 35Cl NMR/DFT approach is applicable to other MOFs and materials.

Abstract Orogenic wedges are common at convergent plate margins and deform internally to maintain a self‐similar geometry during growth. New structural mapping and thermochronometry data illustrate that the eastern Greater Caucasus mountain range of western Asia undergoes deformation via distinct mechanisms that correspond with contrasting lithologies ...

White Dwarf Merger Remnants: The DAQ Subclass
Four years after the discovery of a unique DAQ white dwarf with a hydrogen-dominated and carbon-rich atmosphere, we report the discovery of four new DAQ white dwarfs, including two that were not recognized properly in the literature.

Searching for benchmark systems containing ultra-cool dwarfs and white dwarfs
We have used the 2MASS all-sky survey and WISE to look for ultracool dwarfs that are part of multiple systems containing main sequence stars. We cross-matched L dwarf candidates from the surveys with Hipparcos and Gliese stars, finding two new systems ...

Short Wavelength Limit of the Dynamic Matsubara Local Field Correction
ABSTRACT We investigate the short wavelength limit of the dynamic Matsubara local field correction G˜q,zl$$ \tilde{G}\left(\mathbf{q},{z}_l\right) $$ of the uniform electron gas based on direct ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results over an unprecedented range of wavenumbers, q≲20qF$$ q\lesssim 20{q}_{\mathrm{F}} $$, where qF$$ {q}_{\mathrm{

Astrophysics of white dwarf binaries [PDF]
White dwarf binaries are the most common compact binaries in the Universe and are especially important for low-frequency gravitational wave detectors such as LISA. There are a number of open questions about binary evolution and the Galactic population of white dwarf binaries that can be solved using gravitational wave data and at the same time, our ...

The recent discovery of planetesimals orbiting white dwarfs has renewed interest in the final chapters of the evolution of planetary systems. Although observational and theoretical studies have examined the dynamical evolution of these systems, studies ...

White dwarfs with a surface electrical charge distribution: equilibrium and stability
The equilibrium configuration and the radial stability of white dwarfs composed of charged perfect fluid are investigated. These cases are analyzed through the results obtained from the solution of the hydrostatic equilibrium equation. We regard that the
