Doppler beaming factors for white dwarfs, main sequence stars, and giant stars Limb-darkening coefficients for 3D (DA and DB) white dwarf models

A. Claret, E. Cukanovaite, K. Burdge +3

We computed Doppler beaming factors for DA, DB, and DBA white dwarf models, as well as for main sequence and giant stars covering the transmission curves of the Sloan, UBVRI, HiPER…

An ultra-massive white dwarf with a mixed hydrogen-carbon atmosphere as a likely merger remnant

Mark A. Hollands, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +11

White dwarfs are dense, cooling stellar embers consisting mostly of carbon and oxygen, or oxygen and neon (with a few percent carbon) at higher initial stellar masses. These stella…

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…

A Novel Approach to Constrain Rotational Mixing & Convective-Core Overshoot in Stars Using the Initial-Final Mass Relation

Jeffrey D. Cummings, Jason S. Kalirai, Jieun Choi +3

The semi-empirical initial-final mass relation (IFMR) connects spectroscopically analyzed white dwarfs in star clusters to the initial masses of the stars that formed them. Most cu…

Pure-helium 3D model atmospheres of white dwarfs

E. Cukanovaite, P. -E. Tremblay, B. Freytag +2

We present the first grid of 3D simulations for the pure-helium atmospheres of DB white dwarfs. The simulations were computed with the CO5BOLD radiation-hydrodynamics code and cove…

Fast spectrophotometry of WD 1145+017

P. Izquierdo, P. Rodríguez-Gil, B. T. Gänsicke +16

WD 1145+017 is currently the only white dwarf known to exhibit periodic transits of planetary debris as well as absorption lines from circumstellar gas. We present the first simult…
