    • A common origin of magnetism from planets to white dwarfs 

      Isern Vilaboy, Jordi; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique; Kulebi, Baybar; Lorén Aguilar, Pablo (2017-02-20)
      Article

      Isolated magnetic white dwarfs have field strengths ranging from kilogauss to gigagauss. However, the origin of the magnetic field has not been hitherto elucidated. Whether these fields are fossil, hence the remnants of ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      In this paper we examine the consequences of the propagation of a slow deflagration front through a C-0 white dwarf that leads to the formation of a marginally bound remnant. This situation corresponds to the transition ...

      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      A type Ia supernova is thought to be a thermonuclear explosion of either a single carbon–oxygen white dwarf or a pair of merging white dwarfs. The explosion fuses a large amount of radioactive 56Ni. After the explosion, ...
