White Dwarf and Pre-White Dwarf Oscillations [PDF]
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

A New Look at Magnetic White Dwarfs [PDF]
The 21st European Workshop on White Dwarfs was held in Austin, TX from July 23rd to 27th of 2018We present a homogeneous photometric analysis of a large sample of magnetic DA white dwarfs as well as selected results from a spectrophotometric analysis ...

Luminosity and cooling suppression in magnetized white dwarfs [PDF]
The 21st European Workshop on White Dwarfs was held in Austin, TX from July 23rd to 27th of 2018We investigate the luminosity and cooling of highly magnetized white dwarfs where cooling occurs by the diffusion of photons.

An Exploration of Spotted White Dwarfs from K2 [PDF]
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 ...

An Update on Pulsations in Accreting White Dwarfs [PDF]
The 21st European Workshop on White Dwarfs was held in Austin, TX from July 23rd to 27th of 2018Since the last white dwarf workshop, there is continuing evidence that long (hrs to days) periodicities are being found in white dwarfs that are undergoing

Binaries discovered by the SPY project. IV, Five single-lined DA double white dwarfs [PDF]
We present results from our ongoing follow-up observations of double white dwarf binaries detected in the ESO SN Ia Progenitor SurveY (SPY). We discuss our observing strategy and data analysis and present the orbital solutions of five close double white ...

Magnetic dynamos in white dwarfs – II. Relating magnetism and pollution [PDF]
We investigate whether the recently suggested rotation and crystallization driven dynamo can explain the apparent increase of magnetism in old metal polluted white dwarfs.

White Dwarfs In Ngc6397 And M4: Constraints On The Physics Of Crystallization [PDF]
We explore the physics of crystallization in the dense Coulomb plasma of the deep interiors of white dwarf stars using the color-magnitude diagram and luminosity function constructed from Hubble Space Telescope photometry of the globular cluster M 4 and ...
