• New chemical profiles for the asteroseismolofy of ZZ Ceti stars 

      Althaus, Leandro Gabriel; Córsico, Alejandro Hugo; Bischoff-Kim, A.; Romero, A.D.; Renedo Rouco, Isabel; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M (2010-07-10)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We compute new chemical profiles for the core and envelope of white dwarfs appropriate for pulsational studies of ZZ Ceti stars. These profiles are extracted from the complete evolution of progenitor stars, evolved through ...
    • New cooling sequences for old white dwarfs 

      Renedo Rouco, Isabel; Althaus, Leandro Gabriel; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M; Romero, A.D.; Córsico, Alejandro Hugo; Rohrmann, Rene Daniel; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique (2010-07)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      We present full evolutionary calculations appropriate for the study of hydrogen-rich DA white dwarfs. This is done by evolving white dwarf progenitors from the zero-age main sequence, through the core hydrogen-burning phase, ...
    • Revisiting the theoretical DBV (V777 Her) instability strip: The MLT theory of convection 

      Córsico, Alejandro Hugo; Althaus, Leandro Gabriel; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique (2009-06-01)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      We reexamine the theoretical instability domain of pulsating DB white dwarfs (DBV or V777 Her variables). We performed an extensive g-mode nonadiabatic pulsation analysis of DB evolutionary models considering a wide range ...
    • Seismological constraints on the high-gravity DOV stars PG 2131+066 and PG 1707+427 

      Córsico, Alejandro Hugo; Althaus, Leandro Gabriel; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique (2009-06-01)
      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      A seismological study of the pulsating PG1159 stars PG2131+066 and PG 1707+427 is presented. We perform extensive adiabatic computations of g-mode pulsation periods of PG1159 evolutionary models with stellar masses ranging ...
    • The effect of 22Ne diffusion in the evolution and pulsational properties of white dwarfs with solar metallicity prgenitors 

      Camisassa, Maria E; Althaus, Leandro G.; Corsico, Alejandro H.; Vinyoles, Núria; Serenelli, Aldo M.; Isem, Jordi; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2016-06-01)
      Article

      © 2016. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Because of the large neutron excess of 22Ne, sedimentation of this isotope occurs rapidly in the interior of white dwarfs. This process releases an additional ...
    • The formation of ultra-massive carbon-oxygen core white dwarfs and their evolutionary and pulsational properties 

      Althaus, Leandro G.; Gil Pons, Pilar; Córsico, Alejandro H.; Camisassa, María Eugenia; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M; de Geronimo, Francisco; Torres Gil, Santiago; Gutiérrez Cabello, Jordi; Rebassa Mansergas, Alberto (EDP Sciences, 2021-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The existence of ultra-massive white dwarf stars, MWD & 1.05M , has been reported in several studies. These white dwarfs are relevant for the role they play in type Ia Supernova explosions, the occurrence of physical ...
    • White dwarf evolutionary sequences for low-metallicity progenitors: The impact of third dredge-up 

      Althaus, Leandro G.; Camisassa, Maria E; Miller Bertolami, Marcelo M; Corsico, Alejandro H.; García-Berro Montilla, Enrique (2015-04-01)
      Article
