A super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernova progenitor at 49 pc set to detonate in 23 Gyr
James Munday, Ruediger Pakmor, Ingrid Pelisoli +9
Double white dwarf binaries are a leading explanation to the origin of type Ia supernovae, but no system exceeding the Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 M) has been found that…
Crystal nucleation rates in one-component Yukawa systems
B. Arnold, J. Daligault, D. Saumon +2
Nucleation in the supercooled Yukawa system is relevant for addressing current challenges in understanding a range of crystallizing systems including white dwarf (WD) stars. We use…
The 100 pc White Dwarf Sample in the SDSS Footprint II. A New Look at the Spectral Evolution of White Dwarfs
Mukremin Kilic, Pierre Bergeron, Simon Blouin +5
We increase the spectroscopic completeness of the 100 pc white dwarf sample in the SDSS footprint with 840 additional spectra. Our spectroscopy is 86% complete for white dwarfs hot…
Buoyant crystals halt the cooling of white dwarf stars
Antoine Bédard, Simon Blouin, Sihao Cheng
White dwarfs are stellar remnants devoid of a nuclear energy source, gradually cooling over billions of years and eventually freezing into a solid state from the inside out. Recent…
The spectral evolution of white dwarfs: where do we stand?
Antoine Bédard
White dwarfs are the dense, burnt-out remnants of the vast majority of stars, condemned to cool over billions of years as they steadily radiate away their residual thermal energy.…
An emerging and enigmatic spectral class of isolated DAe white dwarfs
Abbigail K. Elms, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +9
Two recently discovered white dwarfs, WDJ041246.84754942.26 and WDJ165335.21100116.33, exhibit H and H Balmer line emission similar to stars in the emerging DAHe class,…
