The Gaia DR2 halo white dwarf population: the luminosity function, mass distribution and its star formation history
Santiago Torres, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, María E. Camisassa +1
We analyze the volume-limited nearly complete 100 pc sample of 95 halo white dwarf candidates identified by the second data release of Gaia. Based on a detailed population synthesi…
The population of single and binary white dwarfs of the Galactic bulge
S. Torres, E. García-Berro, R. Cojocaru +1
Recent Hubble Space Telescope observations have unveiled the white dwarf cooling sequence of the Galactic bulge. Although the degenerate sequence can be well fitted employing the m…
The kinematics of the white dwarf population from the SDSS DR12
Borja Anguiano, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Enrique Garcia-Berro +3
We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12, which is the largest available white dwarf catalog to date, to study the evolution of the kinematical properties of the populat…
The white dwarf population of NGC 6397
S. Torres, E. García-Berro, L. G. Althaus +1
NGC 6397 is one of the most interesting, well observed and theoretically studied globular clusters. The existing wealth of observations allows us to study the reliability of the th…
Revisiting the luminosity function of single halo white dwarfs
R. Cojocaru, S. Torres, L. G. Althaus +2
White dwarfs are the fossils left by the evolution of low-and intermediate-mass stars, and have very long evolutionary timescales. This allows us to use them to explore the propert…
The white dwarf cooling sequence of 47 Tucanae
Enrique García-Berro, Santiago Torres, Leandro G. Althaus +1
47 Tucanae is one of the most interesting and well observed and theoretically studied globular clusters. This allows us to study the reliability of our understanding of white dwarf…
