The age and colors of massive white dwarf stars
L. G. Althaus, E. García-Berro, J. Isern +2
We present evolutionary calculations and colors for massive white dwarfs with oxygen-neon cores for masses between 1.06 and 1.28 Mo. The evolutionary stages computed cover the lumi…
The evolutionary status of the white dwarf companion of the binary pulsar PSR J1713+0747
O. G. Benvenuto, R. D. Rohrmann, M. A. De Vito
Splaver and coworkers have measured the masses of the white dwarf and the neutron star components of the PSR J1713+0747 binary system pair by Shapiro Delay. We attempt to find the…
DQ white-dwarf stars with low C abundance: Possible progenitors
C. G. Scóccola, L. G. Althaus, A. M. Serenelli +2
The present paper focuses on the evolution of hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs with the aim of exploring the consequences of different initial envelope structures on the carbon abun…
Evolution and colours of helium-core white dwarf stars: the case of low metallicity progenitors
A. M. Serenelli, L. G. Althaus, R. D. Rohrmann +1
The present work is designed to explore the evolution of helium-core white dwarf (HeWD) stars for the case of metallicities much lower than the solar one (Z=0.001 and Z=0.0002). Ev…
Improved synthetic spectra of helium-core white dwarf stars
R. D. Rohrmann, A. M. Serenelli, L. G. Althaus +1
We examine the emergent fluxes from helium-core white dwarfs following their evolution from the end of pre-white dwarf stages down to advanced cooling stages. For this purpose, we…
The ages and colours of cool helium-core white dwarf stars
A. M. Serenelli, L. G. Althaus, R. D. Rohrmann +1
The purpose of this work is to explore the evolution of helium-core white dwarf stars in a self-consistent way with the predictions of detailed non-gray model atmospheres and eleme…
