Magnetic White Dwarf Stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
S. O. Kepler, Ingrid Pelisoli, Stefan Jordan +10
To obtain a better statistics on the occurrence of magnetism among white dwarfs, we searched the spectra of the hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf stars (DAs) in the Data Release 7 of…
Is γ-ray emission from novae affected by interference effects in the 18F(p,α)15O reaction?
A. M. Laird, A. Parikh, A. St. J. Murphy +14
The 18F(p,α)15O reaction rate is crucial for constraining model predictions of the γ-ray observable radioisotope 18F produced in novae. The determination of this rate is challengin…
White dwarf cooling sequences and cosmochronology
J. Isern, A. Artigas, E. Garcia-Berro
The evolution of white dwarfs is a simple gravothermal process. This means that their luminosity function, i.e. the number of white dwarfs per unit bolometric magnitude and unit vo…
On the non-attractive character of gravity in f(R) theories
F. D. Albareti, J. A. R. Cembranos, A. de la Cruz-Dombriz +1
In General Relativity without a cosmological constant a non-positive contribution from the space-time geometry to Raychaudhuri equation is found provided that particular energy con…
Nucleosynthesis in Type I X-ray Bursts
A. Parikh, J. José, G. Sala +1
Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions that occur in the envelopes of accreting neutron stars. Detailed observations of these phenomena have prompted numerous studies in…
Nuclear Thermometers for Classical Novae
Lori N. Downen, Christian Iliadis, Jordi José +1
Classical novae are stellar explosions occurring in binary systems, consisting of a white dwarf and a main sequence companion. Thermonuclear runaways on the surface of massive whit…
Supersoft X-rays reveal a classical nova in the M 31 globular cluster Bol 126
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +17
[Abridged] Classical novae (CNe) represent the main class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. Only three confirmed novae and th…
An independent limit on the axion mass from the variable white dwarf star R548
Alejandro H. Córsico, Leandro G. Althaus, Alejandra D. Romero +5
Pulsating white dwarfs with hydrogen-rich atmospheres, also known as DAV stars, can be used as astrophysical laboratories to constrain the properties of fundamental particles like…
Reconstruction of Scalar Potentials in Modified Gravity Models
A. Yu. Kamenshchik, A. Tronconi, G. Venturi +1
We employ the superpotential technique for the reconstruction of cosmological models with a non-minimally coupled scalar field evolving on a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walk…
Recommendations for Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis sampling (Research Note)
Richard Longland
Context: Recent reaction rate evaluations include reaction rate uncertainties that have been determined in a statistically meaningful manner. Furthermore, reaction rate probability…
Nuclear structure of 30S and its implications for nucleosynthesis in classical novae
K. Setoodehnia, A. A. Chen, D. Kahl +29
The uncertainty in the 29P(p,gamma)30S reaction rate over the temperature range of 0.1 - 1.3 GK was previously determined to span ~4 orders of magnitude due to the uncertain locati…
Outer boundary conditions for evolving cool white dwarfs
R. D. Rohrmann, L. G. Althaus, E. García-Berro +2
White dwarf evolution is essentially a gravothermal cooling process, which,for cool white dwarfs, sensitively depends on the treatment of the outer boundary conditions. We provide…
