Localised thermonuclear bursts from accreting magnetic white dwarfs
S. Scaringi, P. J. Groot, C. Knigge +16
Nova explosions are caused by global thermonuclear runaways triggered in the surface layers of accreting white dwarfs. It has been predicted that localised thermonuclear bursts on…
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…
The pulsation modes of the pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035
J. E. S. Costa, S. O. Kepler, D. E. Winget +74
PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T_eff=140,000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-0…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of the pulsating subdwarf B star PG 0014+067
M. Vuckovic, S. D. Kawaler
PG 0014+067 is one of the most promising pulsating subdwarf B stars for seismic analysis, as it has a rich pulsation spectrum. The richness of its pulsations, however, poses a fund…
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…
FIRST J102347.6+003841: The First Radio-Selected Cataclysmic Variable
Howard E. Bond, Richard L. White, Robert H. Becker +1
We have identified the 1.4 GHz radio source FIRST J102347.6+003841 (hereafter FIRST J1023+0038) with a previously unknown 17th-mag Galactic cataclysmic variable (CV). The optical s…
