The Evolution of Helium White Dwarfs: Applications to Millisecond Pulsars
T. Driebe, T. Bloecker, D. Schoenberner
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 M_sun. The lower mass limit is well suited for comparison…

The evolution of helium white dwarfs: II. Thermal instabilities
T. Driebe, T. Bloecker, D. Schoenberner +1
We calculated a grid of evolutionary models for white dwarfs with helium cores (He-WDs) and investigated the occurrence of hydrogen-shell flashes due to unstable hydrogen burning v…
