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

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Excess infrared flux from white dwarf stars is likely to arise from a dusty debris disk or a cool companion. In this work, we present near-infrared spectroscopic observations with Keck/MOSFIRE, Gemini/GNIRS, and Gemini/Flamingos-2 of seven white dwarfs ...

The DB gap and a new class of pulsating white dwarfs
EPJ 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 ...

A population synthesis study of the luminosity function of hot white dwarfs
, 2014 We present a coherent and detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the population of hot white dwarfs. We assess the statistical significance of the hot end of the white dwarf luminosity function and the role played by the bolometric corrections of hydrogen ...

White dwarfs and Galactic dark matter [PDF]
, 2002 We discuss the recent discovery by Oppenheimer et al (2001) of old, cool white dwarf stars, which may be the first direct detection of Galactic halo dark matter.

A Systematic Study of the Connection Between White Dwarf Period Spectra and Model Structure
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 To date, pulsational variability has been measured for nearly 70 pulsating helium-atmosphere white dwarfs (DBVs) and 500 pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (DAVs), with only a fraction of these having been the subject of asteroseismic analysis ...

The True Incidence of Magnetism among Field White Dwarfs [PDF]
, 2002 We study the incidence of magnetism in white dwarfs from three large and well-observed samples of hot, cool, and nearby white dwarfs in order to test whether the fraction of magnetic degenerates is biased, and whether it varies with effective temperature,

White dwarf and subdwarf stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14 [PDF]
, 2019 White dwarfs carry information on the structure and evolution of the Galaxy, especially through their luminosity function and initial-to-final mass relation. Very cool white dwarfs provide insight into the early ages of each population.

Effects of modified gravity on microscopic properties and cooling timescale of white dwarfs
Physics Letters BThere 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 ...

Stark Broadening and White Dwarfs
Open Astronomy, 2011 White dwarf and pre-white dwarfs are the best types of stars for the application of Stark broadening research results in astrophysics, since in the atmospheres of these stars physical conditions are very favorable for this line broadening mechanism - in ...
