White Dwarf and Pre-White Dwarf Oscillations [PDF]
International 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

Luminosity and cooling suppression in magnetized white dwarfs [PDF]
, 2018 We investigate the luminosity and cooling of highly magnetized white dwarfs where cooling occurs by the diffusion of photons. We solve the magnetostatic equilibrium and photon diffusion equations to obtain the temperature and density profiles in the ...

Universe, 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 ...

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.

Magnetic white dwarfs in the Early Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey [PDF]
, 2002 We have identified 7 new magnetic DA white dwarfs in the Early Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our selection strategy has also recovered all the previously known magnetic white dwarfs contained in the SDSS EDR, KUV03292+0035 and HE0330-0002.

The Influence of Tidal Heating on the Habitability of Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 In recent years, there have been a growing number of observations indicating the presence of rocky material in short-period orbits around white dwarfs. In this Letter, we revisit the prospects for habitability around these post-main-sequence star systems.

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

DA white dwarfs from the LSS-GAC survey DR1: the preliminary luminosity and mass functions and formation rate [PDF]
, 2015 Modern large-scale surveys have allowed the identification of large numbers of white dwarfs. However, these surveys are subject to complicated target selection algorithms, which make it almost impossible to quantify to what extent the observational ...

An Exploration of Spotted White Dwarfs from K2 [PDF]
, 2018 The 21st European Workshop on White Dwarfs was held in Austin, TX from July 23rd to 27th of 2018The Kepler K2 mission has discovered a significant population of white dwarf stars that exhibit photometric variability due to surface inhomogeneities ...
