Three-component Phase Separation for Ultramassive White Dwarf Models
Matias Castro-Tapia, Andrew Cumming
We investigate phase separation in oxygen-neon (O/Ne) ultramassive white dwarfs (UMWDs). Current stellar evolution codes, such as MESA, only account for s…
Hot Spot Offset Variability from Magnetohydrodynamical Thermoresistive Instability in Hot Jupiters
Raphaël Hardy, Paul Charbonneau, Andrew Cumming
Hot Jupiter atmospheres are possibly subject to a thermoresistive instability. Such an instability may develop as the ohmic heating increases the electrical conductivity in a posit…
Neon Cluster Formation and Phase Separation During White Dwarf Cooling
M. E. Caplan, C. J. Horowitz, A. Cumming
Recent observations of Galactic white dwarfs (WDs) with Gaia suggest there is a population of massive crystallizing WDs exhibiting anomalous cooling -- the Q branch. While single-p…
A Bayesian Approach to Matching Thermonuclear X-ray Burst Observations with Models
A. J. Goodwin, D. K. Galloway, A. Heger +2
We present a new method of matching observations of Type I (thermonuclear) X-ray bursts with models, comparing the predictions of a semi-analytic ignition model with X-ray observat…
