Evolutionary Models of White Dwarfs with Helium Cores
T. Driebe, D. Schoenberner, T. Bloecker +1
We present seven evolutionary tracks for low-mass white dwarfs with helium cores, ranging in mass from 0.179 to 0.414 Msol. We generated the pre-white dwarf models from a 1 Msol se…
The role of convective boundaries
F. Herwig, T. Bloecker, D. Schoenberner
We investigate the influence of convective overshoot on stellar evolution models of the thermal pulse AGB phase with M_ZAMS = 3 Msol. An exponential diffusive overshoot algorithm i…
On the validity of the core-mass luminosity relation for TP-AGB stars with efficient dredge-up
F. Herwig, D. Schoenberner, T. Bloecker
We investigate the validity of the core mass - luminosity relation (CMLR), originally described by Paczynski (1970), for asymptotic giant branch stars under the presence of third d…
The evolution of helium white dwarfs: I. The companion of the millisecond pulsar PSR J1012+5307
T. Driebe, D. Sch"onberner, T. Bl"ocker +1
We present a grid of evolutionary tracks for low-mass white dwarfs with helium cores in the mass range from 0.179 to 0.414 Msol. The lower mass limit is well-suited for comparison…
