The pulsation modes of the pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035

J. E. S. Costa, S. O. Kepler, D. E. Winget +74

PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T_eff=140,000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-0…

On the systematics of asteroseismological mass determinations of PG1159 stars

L. G. Althaus, A. H. Córsico, S. O. Kepler +1

We analyze systematics in the asteroseismological mass determination methods in pulsating PG 1159 stars. We compare the seismic masses resulting from the comparison of the observed…

White Dwarf Luminosity and Mass Functions from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectra

Steven DeGennaro, Ted von Hippel, D. E. Winget +4

We present the first phase in our ongoing work to use Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data to create separate white dwarf (WD) luminosity functions for two or more different mass r…

Oligarchic planetesimal accretion and giant planet formation

A. Fortier, O. G. Benvenuto, A. Brunini

Aims. In the context of the core instability model, we present calculations of in situ giant planet formation. The oligarchic growth regime of solid protoplanets is the model adopt…
