A network of cooler white dwarfs as infrared standards for flux calibration
Abbigail K. Elms, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +6
The accurate flux calibration of observational data is vital for astrophysics and cosmology because absolute flux uncertainties of stellar standards propagate into scientific resul…
Constraints on Remnant Planetary Systems as a Function of Main-Sequence Mass with HST/COS
Lou Baya Ould Rouis, J. J. Hermes, Boris T. Gänsicke +8
As the descendants of stars with masses less than 8 M on the main sequence, white dwarfs provide a unique way to constrain planetary occurrence around intermediate-mass s…
The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample -- IV. GTC/OSIRIS optical spectra of Gaia late-M and L dwarfs
W. J. Cooper, H. R. A. Jones, R. L. Smart +20
As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterisation of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telesco…
The DBL Survey I: discovery of 34 double-lined double white dwarf binaries
James Munday, Ingrid Pelisoli, P. E. Tremblay +8
We present the first discoveries of the double-lined double white dwarf (DBL) survey that targets over-luminous sources with respect to the canonical white dwarf cooling sequence a…
A Test of Spectroscopic Age Estimates of White Dwarfs using Wide WD+WD Binaries
Tyler M. Heintz, J. J. Hermes, P. -E. Tremblay +4
White dwarf stars have been used for decades as precise and accurate age indicators. This work presents a test of the reliability of white dwarf total ages when spectroscopic obser…
The Gaia white dwarf revolution
Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Antoine Bédard, Mairi W. O'Brien +4
This review highlights the role of the Gaia space mission in transforming white dwarf research. These stellar remnants constitute 5-7% of the local stellar population in volume, ye…
