Magnetism, X-rays, and Accretion Rates in WD 1145+017 and other Polluted White Dwarf Systems
J. Farihi, L. Fossati, P. J. Wheatley +9
This paper reports circular spectropolarimetry and X-ray observations of several polluted white dwarfs including WD 1145+017, with the aim to constrain the behavior of disk materia…
Evidence from K2 for rapid rotation in the descendant of an intermediate-mass star
J. J. Hermes, Steven D. Kawaler, A. D. Romero +9
Using patterns in the oscillation frequencies of a white dwarf observed by K2, we have measured the fastest rotation rate, 1.13(02) hr, of any isolated pulsating white dwarf known…
When flux standards go wild: white dwarfs in the age of Kepler
J. J. Hermes, B. T. Gaensicke, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo +5
White dwarf stars have been used as flux standards for decades, thanks to their staid simplicity. We have empirically tested their photometric stability by analyzing the light curv…
