Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarfs Accreting CO-Rich Matter I: A Comparison Between Rotating and Non-Rotating Models
Luciano Piersanti, Simona Gagliardi, Icko Iben +1
We investigate the lifting effect of rotation on the thermal evolution of CO WDs accreting CO-rich matter. We find that rotation induces the cooling of the accreting star so that t…

The chemical composition of White Dwarfs as a test of convective efficiency during core He-burning
Oscar Straniero, Inma Dominguez, Gianluca Imbriani +1
Pulsating white dwarfs provide constraints to the evolution of progenitor stars. We revise He-burning stellar models, with particular attention to core convection and to its connec…
