The White Dwarf Population in NGC 1039 (M34) and the White Dwarf Initial-Final Mass Relation
Kate H. R. Rubin, Kurtis A. Williams, M. Bolte +1
We present the first detailed photometric and spectroscopic study of the white dwarfs (WDs) in the field of the ~225 Myr old (log tau_cl = 8.35) open cluster NGC 1039 (M34) as part…
An empirical initial-final mass relation from hot, massive white dwarfs in NGC 2168 (M35)
Kurtis A. Williams, M. Bolte, Detlev Koester
The relation between the zero-age main sequence mass of a star and its white-dwarf remnant (the initial-final mass relation) is a powerful tool for exploration of mass loss process…
A Merger Origin for X-Structures in S0 Galaxies
Chris Mihos, Ian Walker, Lars Hernquist +2
Using numerical simulation, we study the response of a disk galaxy to a merger involving a low-mass satellite companion. During a prograde satellite accretion, the disk galaxy form…
