A population of anomalous ultra-massive white dwarfs discovered with Gaia, often referred to as the Q branch, show high (multi-Gyr) cooling delays produced by exotic physical mecha…
Multiperiodic pulsations of the unique DAQ white dwarf J0551+4135: insights into a merger remnant
Murat Uzundag, Mukremin Kilic, Francisco C. De Gerónimo +7
2MASS J05513444+4135297 (herafter J0551+4135) is the only pulsating DAQ white dwarf known with a carbon and hydrogen atmosphere. Its unusual atmospheric composition and kinematics…
Neural Posterior Estimation for White Dwarf Spectroscopic Characterization
Olivier Vincent, Patrick Dufour, Pierre Bergeron
White dwarf spectroscopic characterization is entering a big data era, with the number of spectroscopically characterized white dwarfs expected to grow from 100,000 to over 3…
The ZZ Ceti Instability Strip for The Most Massive White Dwarf Pulsators
Gracyn Jewett, Mukremin Kilic, Adam Moss +10
We present time-series photometry of 31 massive DA white dwarfs with within the ZZ Ceti instability strip from the Montreal White Dwarf Database 100 pc sampl…
JWST imaging of omega Centauri: II. Evidence for a split white dwarf cooling sequence in the near-infrared
M. Scalco, M. Salaris, L. R. Bedin +11
We present a detailed analysis of the white dwarf cooling sequence (WD CS) in omega Centauri based on combined Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST observations. Our analysis conf…
An All-sky Survey of White Dwarf Merger Remnants: Far-UV is the Key
Mukremin Kilic, Pierre Bergeron, Warren R. Brown +5
The majority of merging white dwarfs leave behind a white dwarf remnant. Hot/warm DQ white dwarfs with carbon-rich atmospheres have high masses and unusual kinematics. All evidence…
Magnetic White Dwarfs in the SDSS 100 pc Sample: Further Evidence of Two Formation Channels
Adam Moss, Mukremin Kilic, Pierre Bergeron +5
We conduct a model atmosphere analysis on all magnetic white dwarfs in the SDSS 100 pc sample. We have 163 magnetic targets in this sample, 87 of which are new discoveries, making…

O. Caliskan, M. Uzundag, M. Kilic +10
We present extensive follow-up time-series photometry of WD J00492525, the most massive pulsating white dwarf currently known with and $\log{\i…
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4
