Re-evaluating Lyman wing opacities and the low mass-problem in cool white dwarfs

Snehalata Sahu, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Detlev Koester +4

Gaia observations have reignited interest in the optical and ultraviolet (UV) opacity problems of cool white dwarfs ( K), which were thought to be resolved n…

Characterizing planetary material accreted by cool helium atmosphere white dwarfs using an exponentially decaying disc model

Mairi W. O'Brien, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Beth L. Klein +5

We present Keck High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES) observations and model atmosphere analysis for two nearby, cool, helium-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs that have bee…

Comparison of methods used to derive the Galactic star formation history from white dwarf samples

Emily K. Roberts, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Mairi W. O'Brien +4

We compare three methods of deriving the local Galactic star formation history, using as a benchmark the Gaia-defined 40 pc white dwarf sample, currently the largest volume complet…

The dearth of high-mass hydrogen-atmosphere metal-polluted white dwarfs within 40 pc

Tim Cunningham, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Mairi O'Brien +7

We present a population synthesis model which addresses the different mass distributions of the metal-polluted and non-metal-polluted hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs identified in…

white dwarfs within 40 pc III: spectroscopic observations of new candidates in the southern hemisphere

Mairi W. O'Brien, P. -E. Tremblay, N. P. Gentile Fusillo +31

We present a spectroscopic survey of 248 white dwarf candidates within 40 pc of the Sun; of these 244 are in the southern hemisphere. Observations were performed mostly with the Ve…
