Pulsating hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs and pre-white dwarfs observed with {\it TESS}: III. Asteroseismology of the DBV star GD 358

Alejandro H. Córsico, Murat Uzundag, S. O. Kepler +14

The collection of high-quality photometric data by space telescopes is revolutionizing the area of white-dwarf asteroseismology. Among the different kinds of pulsating white dwarfs…

GD358: three decades of observations for the in-depth asteroseismology of a DBV star

Agnes Bischoff-Kim, J. L. Provencal, P. A. Bradley +38

We report on the analysis of 34 years of photometric observations of the pulsating helium atmosphere white dwarf GD358. The complete data set includes archival data from 1982-2006,…

Precursor flares in OJ 287

P. Pihajoki, M. Valtonen, S. Zola +19

We have studied three most recent precursor flares in the light curve of the blazar OJ 287 while invoking the presence of a precessing binary black hole in the system to explain th…

Empirical Determination of Convection Parameters in White Dwarfs I : Whole Earth Telescope Observations of EC14012-1446

J. L. Provencal, M. H. Montgomery, A. Kanaan +55

We report on analysis of 308.3 hrs of high speed photometry targeting the pulsating DA white dwarf EC14012-1446. The data were acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during…

Evidence for Temperature Change and Oblique Pulsation from Light Curve Fits of the Pulsating White Dwarf GD 358

M. H. Montgomery, J. L. Provencal, A. Kanaan +7

Convective driving, the mechanism originally proposed by Brickhill (1991, 1983) for pulsating white dwarf stars, has gained general acceptance as the generic linear instability mec…

Pulsational Mapping of Calcium Across the Surface of a White Dwarf

Susan E. Thompson, M. H. Montgomery, T. von Hippel +27

We constrain the distribution of calcium across the surface of the white dwarf star G29-38 by combining time series spectroscopy from Gemini-North with global time series photometr…

First Results from the Swarms Survey. SDSS 1257+5428: A Nearby, Massive White Dwarf Binary with a Likely Neutron Star or Black Hole Companion

Carles Badenes, Fergal Mullally, Susan E. Thompson +1

We present the first results from SWARMS (Sloan White dwArf Radial velocity data Mining Survey), an ongoing project to identify compact white dwarf (WD) binaries in the spectroscop…

2006 Whole Earth Telescope Observations of GD358: A New Look at the Prototype DBV

J. L. Provencal, M. H. Montgomery, A. Kanaan +53

We report on the analysis of 436.1 hrs of nearly continuous high-speed photometry on the pulsating DB white dwarf GD358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during the 200…
