Testing White Dwarf Crystallization Theory with Asteroseismology of the Massive Pulsating DA Star BPM 37093

T. S. Metcalfe, M. H. Montgomery, A. Kanaan

It was predicted more than 40 years ago that the cores of the coolest white dwarf stars should eventually crystallize. This effect is one of the largest sources of uncertainty in w…

White dwarf envelopes: further results of a non-local model of convection

M. H. Montgomery, F. Kupka

We present results of a fully non-local model of convection for white dwarf envelopes. We show that this model is able to reproduce the results of numerical simulations for convect…

Probing the core and envelope structure of DBV white dwarfs

T. S. Metcalfe, M. H. Montgomery, S. D. Kawaler

We investigate the global pulsation properties of DBV white dwarf models that include both the double-layered envelope structure expected from time-dependent diffusion calculations…

A-star envelopes: a test of local and non-local models of convection

F. Kupka, M. H. Montgomery

We present results of a fully non-local, compressible model of convection for A-star envelopes. This model quite naturally reproduces a variety of results from observations and num…

The effect of 3-He diffusion on the pulsational spectra of DBV models

M. H. Montgomery, T. S. Metcalfe, D. E. Winget

We consider envelopes of DB white dwarfs which are not composed of pure 4-He, but rather a mixture of 3-He and 4-He. Given this assumption, the same diffusive processes which produ…
