Forging Neon-distilling White Dwarfs in the Stellar Engulfments of Helium White Dwarfs

The Astrophysical Journal
Once carbon–oxygen white dwarfs cool sufficiently, they crystallize from the inside out. If the white dwarf is rich enough in ^22 Ne, these crystallized solids are buoyant and rapidly rise, efficiently liberating potential energy, which may halt the ...

Effects of modified gravity on microscopic properties and cooling timescale of white dwarfs

Physics Letters B
There 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 ...

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.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Related Myositis and Associated Triad Overlap Syndrome

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) myositis is a rare but a highly morbid condition, particularly with the ICI myositis triad syndrome of myositis, myocarditis, and myasthenia gravis. We report the clinical characteristics of ICI myositis and all‐cause mortality in these patients.

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 ...

Recycling of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys: Fundamental and Technological Aspects of a Vacuum Induction Melting Processing Route

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

Constraints from Parallaxes and Average Period Spacings in the Asteroseismic Study of Eight Hydrogen-atmosphere Pulsating White Dwarfs

The Astrophysical Journal
With space missions such as Kepler, TESS, and Gaia, we have a wealth of data on pulsating white dwarfs that can be leveraged in white dwarf asteroseismology. We address the question of the proportion of white dwarfs with thin hydrogen layers versus those

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Friend, Not Foe: Lowered Tissue Reactivity to Long‐Term Polyimide Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The choice of optimal neural probe designs remains a major challenge in the field of neurotechnology. This study investigated the biocompatibility of several probe variations, including material, thickness, width, and implantation strategy. It highlights the clear advantage of soft polyimide probes over stiff silicon probes for better device ...

Constraints on Remnant Planetary Systems as a Function of Main-sequence Mass with HST/COS

The Astrophysical Journal
As the descendants of stars with masses less than 8 M _⊙ on the main sequence, white dwarfs provide a unique way to constrain planetary occurrence around intermediate-mass stars (spectral types BAF) that are otherwise difficult to measure with radial ...
