C/O white dwarfs of very low mass: 0.33-0.5 Mo
P. G. Prada Moroni, O. Straniero
The standard lower limit for the mass of white dwarfs (WDs) with a C/O core is roughly 0.5 Mo. In the present work we investigated the possibility to form C/O WDs with mass as low…
On the distance and reddening of the starburst galaxy IC10
N. Sanna, G. Bono, P. B. Stetson +16
We present deep and accurate optical photometry of the Local Group starburst galaxy IC10. The photometry is based on two sets of images collected with the Advanced Camera for Surve…
On the white dwarf cooling sequence of the globular cluster Omega Centauri
A. Calamida, C. E. Corsi, G. Bono +16
We present deep and precise photometry (F435, F625W, F658N) of Omega Cen collected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We have ide…
Microscopic Diffusion in Stellar Evolution Codes: First Comparison results of ESTA-Task~3
Y. Lebreton, J. Montalban, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +8
We present recent work undertaken by the Evolution and Seismic Tools Activity (ESTA) team of the CoRoT Seismology Working Group. The new ESTA-Task 3 aims at testing, comparing and…
White Dwarf cooling Sequences, II: luminosity functions
P. G. Prada Moroni, O. Straniero
Given the importance of white dwarfs (WDs) in many fields of modern astrophysics, the precise knowledge of the actual degree of accuracy of the associated theoretical predictions i…
Recovering the star formation rate in the solar neighborhood
M. Cignoni, S. Degl'Innocenti, P. G. Prada Moroni +1
This paper develops a method for obtaining the star formation histories of a mixed, resolved population through the use of color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). The method provides insi…
