Can we reveal the core-chemical composition of ultra-massive white dwarfs through their magnetic fields?
Maria E. Camisassa, Roberto Raddi, Leandro G. Althaus +5
Ultra-massive white dwarfs () are particularly interesting objects that allow us to study extreme astrophysical phenomena such as type Ia superno…
White Dwarfs as Advanced Physics Laboratories. The Axion case
Jordi Isern
The shape of the luminosity function of white dwarfs (WDLF) is sensitive to the characteristic cooling time and, therefore, it can be used to test the existence of additional sourc…
Observations of Type Ia Supernova 2014J for Nearly 900 Days and Constraints on Its Progenitor System
Wenxiong Li, Xiaofeng Wang, Maokai Hu +18
We present extensive ground-based and () photometry of the highly reddened, very nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2014J in M82, covering the phases fr…
White dwarf collisions and the meteoritic Ne-E annomaly
Jordi Isern, Eduardo Bravo
The analysis of noble gases in primitive meteorites has shown the existence of anomalous isotopic abundances when compared with the average Solar System values. In particular it ha…
White Dwarf Collisions, a promising scenario to account for meteoritic anomalies
J. Isern, E. Bravo
It is commonly accepted that collisions between white dwarfs (WD) are rare events that only occur in the dense interior of globular clusters or in the dense outskirts around the ce…
Axions and the luminosity function of white dwarfs. The thin and thick disks, and the halo
Jordi Isern, Enrique Garcia-Berro, Santiago Torres +2
The evolution of white dwarfs is a simple gravothermal process of cooling. Since the shape of their luminosity function is sensitive to the characteristic cooling time, it is possi…
