The White Dwarf Initial-Final Mass Relation from Open Clusters in Gaia DR3
David R. Miller, Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl +6
The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) links a star's birth mass to the mass of its white dwarf (WD) remnant, providing key constraints on stellar evolution. Open clusters offer th…
Transiting Planetary Debris near the Roche Limit of a White Dwarf on a 4.97hr Orbit -- and its Vanishing
Joseph A. Guidry, Zachary P. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes +9
We present the discovery of deep, irregular, periodic transits towards the white dwarf ZTFJ19444557 using follow-up time-series photometry and spectroscopy from Palomar, Kec…
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…
A ZTF Search for Circumstellar Debris Transits in White Dwarfs: Six New Candidates, one with Gas Disk Emission, identified in a Novel Metric Space
Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee, Zachary P. Vanderbosch, Mark A. Hollands +13
White dwarfs (WDs) showing transits from orbiting planetary debris provide significant insights into the structure and dynamics of debris disks. This is a rare class of objects wit…
Two almost planetary mass survivors of common envelope evolution
S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +19
White dwarfs are often found in close binaries with stellar or even substellar companions. It is generally thought that these compact binaries form via common envelope evolution, t…
Generating X-ray transit profiles with batman
George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Peter J. Wheatley +2
We present an adaptation of the exoplanet transit model code batman, in order to permit the generation of X-ray transits. Our underlying extended coronal model assumes an isotherma…
