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 ...

IRTF Observations of White Dwarfs with Possible Near-Infrared Excess [PDF]

, 2009
Near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy is obtained for a heterogeneous sample of nearby white dwarfs with possible excess flux as identified primarily in the Two Micron All Sky Survey. Among the sample of 43 stars are a number of white dwarfs that are

Single‐Cell Metabolic Imaging and Digital Scoring of Fat Tissue Remodeling by Label‐Free Metabolic Microscopy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mid‐infrared optoacoustic microscopy (MiROM) acquires lipid‐ and protein‐ associated vibrational contrast in intact fat tissue without dyes, preserving native tissue architecture. Through lateral and axial segmentation, MiROM tracks intrinsic intracellular changes during postnatal remodeling. A quantitative spatial analysis tool (Q‐SAT) maps white‐ and

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

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 ...

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.

Plant Genetic Engineering: Technological Pathways, Application Scenarios, and Future Directions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review maps the fast‐evolving landscape of plant genetic engineering, linking enabling platforms with trait‐focused applications in architecture optimization, stress resilience, yield improvement, and quality enhancement. It highlights how genome editing, transgenic strategies, and emerging multi‐gene approaches reshape breeding pipelines, while ...

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 ...

Strange Dwarfs: A Review on the (in)Stability

Universe
White dwarfs are the remnants of stars not massive enough to become supernovae. This review explores the concept of strange dwarfs, a unique class of white dwarfs that contain cores of strange quark matter.

Magnetism in white Dwarfs [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1971
Searches have been made for the normal and quadratic Zeeman effect and broad-band circular polarization in white dwarf stars. A positive effect has been found in Grw + 70°8247 whose continuum shows both linear and circular polarization.

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 ...
