3D Hydrodynamical simulations of helium-ignited double-degenerate white dwarf mergers
(2022-06-01)
Article
Accés obertThe origins of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are still debated. Some of the leading scenarios involve a double detonation in double white dwarf (WD) systems. In these scenarios, helium shell detonation occurs on top of a ... -
A common origin of magnetism from planets to white dwarfs
(2017-02-20)
Article
Accés obertIsolated 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 ... -
A hidden population of white dwarfs with atmospheric carbon traces in the Gaia bifurcation
(EDP Sciences, 2023-06-01)
Article
Accés obertContext. The high-quality photometric and astrometric capabilities of the ESA Gaia space mission have revealed a bifurcation of the white dwarf sequence on the color magnitude diagram with two branches: A and B. While the ... -
A population synthesis fitting of the Gaia resolved white dwarf binary population within 100 pc
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04-01)
Article
Accés obertThe Gaia mission has provided an unprecedented wealth of information about the white dwarf population of our Galaxy. In particular, our studies show that the sample up to 100\,pc from the Sun can be considered as practically ... -
A population synthesis study of the luminosity function of hot white dwarfs
(2014-03-05)
Article
Accés obertContext. We present a coherent and detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the population of hot white dwarfs. We assess the statistical significance of the hot end of the white dwarf luminosity function and the role played by ... -
A population synthesis study of the MS+WD population in the SDSS
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series (ASP), 2015-06-01)
Article
Accés obertDetached white dwarf + main sequence (WD+MS) systems represent the simplest population of post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs), and their ensemble properties carry important information about common-envelope phase. However, ... -

A population synthesis study of white dwarf-main sequence binaries in the galactic disk
(2017)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThe companion mass ratio distribution (CMRD) of main sequence binaries is a crucial physical quantity for understanding the evolution of stars in binary systems and for constraining models of binary star formation. However, ... -
A white dwarf catalogue from Gaia-DR2 and the Virtual Observatory
(Oxford University Press, 2018-01-01)
Article
Accés obertWe present a catalogue of 73¿221 white dwarf candidates extracted from the astrometric and photometric data of the recently published Gaia-DR2 catalogue. White dwarfs were selected from the Gaia Hertzsprung–Russell diagram ... -
A white dwarf merger as progenitor of the anomalous X-Ray pulsar 4U 0142+61?
(2013-08)
Article
Accés obertIt has been recently proposed that massive, fast-rotating, highly magnetized white dwarfs could describe the observational properties of some of soft gamma-ray repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). Moreover, it has ... -
Accurate mass and radius determinations of a cool subdwarf in an eclipsing binary
(Springer Nature, 2019-04-08)
Article
Accés obertCool subdwarfs are metal-poor low-mass stars that formed during the early stages of the evolution of our Galaxy. Because they are relatively rare in the vicinity of the Sun, we know of few cool subdwarfs in the solar ... -
An asteroseismic constraint on the mass of the axion from the period drift of the pulsating da white dwarf star L19-2
(2016-07-01)
Article
Accés obertWe employ an asteroseismic model of L19-2, a relatively massive (Msstarf ~ 0.75 M¿) and hot (Teff ~ 12 100 K) pulsating DA (H-rich atmosphere) white dwarf star (DAV or ZZ Ceti variable), and use the observed values of the ... -
An extremely hot white dwarf with a rapidly rotating K-type subgiant companion: UCAC2 46706450
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10-01)
Article
Accés obert
Realitzat a/amb: Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen / Universität Potsdam / Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya / National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand / Zhongguo ke xue yuanThe subgiant UCAC2 46706450 is a late-type star with an ultraviolet (UV) excess. It was considered as a candidate to establish a sample of stars of spectral type F, G, and K with white dwarf (WD) companions that could be ... -
An irradiated-Jupiter analogue hotter than the Sun
(Springer Nature, 2023-09-14)
Article
Accés obertPlanets orbiting close to hot stars experience intense extreme-ultraviolet radiation, potentially leading to atmosphere evaporation and to thermal dissociation of molecules. However, this extreme regime remains mainly ... -
Can we reveal the core-chemical composition of ultra-massive white dwarfs through their magnetic fields?
(Oxford University Press, 2022-10-01)
Article
Accés obertUltra-massive white dwarfs (1.05M¿ . MWD) are particularly interesting objects that allow us to study extreme astrophysical phenomena such as type Ia supernovae explosions and merger events. Traditionally, ultra-massive ... -
Carbon-oxygen ultra-massive white dwarfs in general relativity
(Oxford University Press, 2023-08-01)
Article
Accés obertWe employ the La Plata stellar evolution code, lpcode, to compute the first set of constant rest-mass carbon–oxygen ultra-massive white dwarf evolutionary sequences for masses higher than 1.29 M¿ that fully take into account ... -
Comparison of theoretical white dwarf cooling timescales (Research Note)
(2013-07)
Article
Accés obertContext. An accurate assessment of white dwarf cooling times is paramount so that white dwarf cosmochronology of Galactic populations can be put on more solid grounds. This issue is particularly relevant in view of the ... -
