Orbital Decay in a 20 Minute Orbital Period Detached Binary with a Hydrogen Poor Low Mass White Dwarf
Kevin B Burdge, Jim Fuller, E. Sterl Phinney +14
We report the discovery of a detached double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of , PTF J053332.05+020911.6. The visible object in this binary, PT…
From Hydrogen to Helium: The Spectral Evolution of White Dwarfs as Evidence for Convective Mixing
Tim Cunningham, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo +2
We present a study of the hypothesis that white dwarfs undergo a spectral change from hydrogen- to helium-dominated atmospheres using a volume-limited photometric sample drawn from…
Calibration of the mixing length theory for structures of helium-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs
Cukanovaite E., P. -E. Tremblay, B. Freytag +5
We perform a calibration of the mixing length parameter at the bottom boundary of the convection zone for helium-dominated atmospheres of white dwarfs. This calibration is based on…
Core crystallization and pile-up in the cooling sequence of evolving white dwarfs
Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Gilles Fontaine, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo +7
White dwarfs are stellar embers depleted of nuclear energy sources that cool over billions of years. These stars, which are supported by electron degeneracy pressure, reach densiti…
A Volume Limited Sample of Cataclysmic Variables from DR2: Space Density and Population Properties
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, E. Breedt +15
We present the first volume-limited sample of cataclysmic variables (CVs), selected using the accurate parallaxes provided by the second data release (DR2) of the ESA $\mathit{Gaia…
Phase-Resolved Spectroscopy of Gaia14aae: Line Emission From Near the White Dwarf Surface
M. J. Green, T. R. Marsh, D. Steeghs +8
AM CVn binaries are a class of ultracompact, hydrogen-deficient binaries, each consisting of a white dwarf accreting helium-dominated material from a degenerate or semi-degenerate…
