Formation and evolution of a 0.242 Msun helium white dwarf in presence of element diffusion
Leandro Althaus, Aldo Serenelli, Omar Benvenuto
A 0.242 Msun object that finally becomes a helium white dwarf is evolved from Roche lobe detachment down to very low luminosities. In doing so, we employ our stellar code to which…
