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

open access: yesThe 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.

A new magnetic white dwarf : PG2329+267 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We have discovered that the white dwarf PG 2329+267 is magnetic, and assuming a centered dipole structure, has a dipole magnetic field strength of approximately 2.3MG.

Disk or Companion: Characterizing Excess Infrared Flux in Seven White Dwarf Systems with Near-infrared Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe 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 ...

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

open access: yesEuropean 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.

DA white dwarfs from the LSS-GAC survey DR1: the preliminary luminosity and mass functions and formation rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

White Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974
The effects of core crystallization and of convection in the envelope on the cooling of white dwarfs are reviewed. The case of a 0.6 M⊙ white dwarf composed of an oxygen core and a helium envelope is taken as example. Also the amount of hydrogen that a white dwarf can accrete before nuclear burning occurs is estimated and possible evolutionary ...

White dwarf planets [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The recognition that planets may survive the late stages of stellar evolution, and the prospects for finding them around White Dwarfs, are growing. We discuss two aspects governing planetary survival through stellar evolution to the White Dwarf stage. First we discuss the case of a single planet, and its survival under the effects of stellar mass loss,

The DB gap and a new class of pulsating white dwarfs

open access: yesEPJ 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 Systematic Study of the Connection Between White Dwarf Period Spectra and Model Structure

open access: yesThe 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 ...
