SDSS J142625.71+575218.3, a Prototype for a New Class of Variable White Dwarf
M. H. Montgomery, Kurtis A. Williams, D. E. Winget +3
We present the results of a search for pulsations in six of the recently discovered carbon-atmosphere white dwarf ("hot DQ") stars. Based on our theoretical calculations, the star…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of the hot helium atmosphere pulsating white dwarf EC 20058-5234
WET Collaboration, D. J. Sullivan, T. S. Metcalfe +22
We present the analysis of a total of 177h of high-quality optical time-series photometry of the helium atmosphere pulsating white dwarf (DBV) EC 20058-5234. The bulk of the observ…
A New Technique for Probing Convection in Pulsating White Dwarf Stars
M. H. Montgomery
In this paper we demonstrate how pulsating white dwarfs can be used as an astrophysical laboratory for empirically constraining convection in these stars. We do this using a techni…
Ensemble Characteristics of the ZZ Ceti stars
Anjum S. Mukadam, M. H. Montgomery, D. E. Winget +2
We present the observed pulsation spectra of all known non-interacting ZZ Ceti stars (hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf variables; DAVs) and examine changes in their pulsation proper…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of BPM 37093: a seismological test of crystallization theory in white dwarfs
A. Kanaan, A. Nitta, D. E. Winget +3
BPM 37093 is the only hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf currently known which has sufficient mass (~ 1.1 M_sun) to theoretically crystallize while still inside the ZZ Ceti instabilit…
