Whole Earth Telescope observations of the hot helium atmosphere pulsating white dwarf EC 20058-5234
WET Collaboration, D. J. Sullivan, T. S. Metcalfe +22
We present the analysis of a total of 177h of high-quality optical time-series photometry of the helium atmosphere pulsating white dwarf (DBV) EC 20058-5234. The bulk of the observ…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of BPM 37093: a seismological test of crystallization theory in white dwarfs
A. Kanaan, A. Nitta, D. E. Winget +3
BPM 37093 is the only hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf currently known which has sufficient mass (~ 1.1 M_sun) to theoretically crystallize while still inside the ZZ Ceti instabilit…
2MASSJ0516288+260738: Discovery of the first eclipsing late K + Brown dwarf system?
S. L. Schuh, G. Handler, H. Drechsel +22
We report the discovery of a new eclipsing system less than one arcminute south of the pulsating DB white dwarf KUV 05134+2605. The object could be identified with the point source…
DQ Herculis in Profile: Whole Earth Telescope Observations and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulations
M. A. Wood, the XCov 15 Team
DQ Herculis was the Summer 1997 WET northern-hemisphere primary target. The O-C phase diagram of the 71-s signal reveals out-of-eclipse phase variations resulting from the self ecl…
Spectral Energy Distributions and Light Curves of GRB 990123 and its Afterglow
T. J. Galama, M. S. Briggs, R. A. M. J. Wijers +38
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to result from the interaction of an extremely relativistic outflow interacting with a small amount of material surrounding the site of the expl…
