An overview of white dwarf stars

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We present a brief summary of what is currently known about white dwarf stars, with an emphasis on their evolutionary and internal properties. As is well known, white dwarfs represent the end products of stellar evolution for the vast majority of stars ...

Mechanical and Microstructural Effects of ZrO2 Nanoparticles in Fe20Cr Oxide Dispersion‐Strengthened Alloys Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of oxide nanoparticle synthesis route and concentration on microstructure and high‐temperature performance of additively manufactured oxide dispersion‐strengthened steels is investigated. Comparing laser‐generated and chemically synthesized ZrO2 nanoparticles, the study reveals how dispersion quality, crystal structure and particle size ...

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.

Massive white dwarfs in $$f(\mathtt {R,L_m})$$ f ( R , L m ) gravity

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
In this work, we investigate the equilibrium configurations of massive white dwarfs (MWD) in the context of modified gravity, namely $$f(\mathtt {R,L_m})$$ f ( R , L m ) gravity, where $$\mathtt {R}$$ R stands for the Ricci scalar and $$\mathtt {L_m}$$ L

A Mini-Review of Accreting Pulsating White Dwarfs

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The discovery in 1998 of a pulsating white dwarf in the cataclysmic variable GW Lib opened up a new avenue of exploration in the asteroseismology of white dwarfs.

White Dwarf Rotation as a Function of Mass and a Dichotomy of Mode Line Widths: Kepler Observations of 27 Pulsating DA White Dwarfs through K2 Campaign 8 [PDF]

, 2017
We present photometry and spectroscopy for 27 pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (DAVs; a.k.a. ZZ Ceti stars) observed by the Kepler space telescope up to K2 Campaign 8, an extensive compilation of observations with unprecedented duration (>75 ...

Gaia Reveals Evidence for Merged White Dwarfs [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2018
We use Gaia Data Release 2 to identify 13,928 white dwarfs within 100 pc of the Sun. The exquisite astrometry from Gaia reveals for the first time a bifurcation in the observed white dwarf sequence in both Gaia and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS ...

From Mechanoelectric Conversion to Tissue Regeneration: Translational Progress in Piezoelectric Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent progress in piezoelectric materials for regenerative medicine, emphasizing their ability to convert mechanical stimuli into bioelectric signals that promote tissue repair. Key discussions cover the intrinsic piezoelectric properties of biological tissues, co‐stimulation cellular mechanisms for tissue regeneration, and ...

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
