Helium at white dwarf photospheric conditions: preliminary laboratory results
Marc Schaeuble, Ross E. Falcon, Thomas A. Gomez +3
We present preliminary results of an experimental study exploring helium at photospheric conditions of white dwarf stars. These data were collected at Sandia National Laboratories'…
Reaching Higher Densities for Laboratory White Dwarf Photospheres to Measure Spectroscopic Line Profiles
Ross E. Falcon, J. E. Bailey, T. A. Gomez +5
As part of our laboratory investigation of the theoretical line profiles used in white dwarf atmosphere models, we extend the electron-density () range measured by our e…
Variability in Hot Carbon-Dominated Atmosphere (hot DQ) White Dwarfs: Rapid Rotation?
Kurtis A. Williams, M. H. Montgomery, D. E. Winget +2
Hot white dwarfs with carbon-dominated atmospheres (hot DQs) are a cryptic class of white dwarfs. In addition to their deficiency of hydrogen and helium, most of these stars are hi…
Laboratory Measurements of White Dwarf Photospheric Spectral Lines: H
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +4
We spectroscopically measure multiple hydrogen Balmer line profiles from laboratory plasmas to investigate the theoretical line profiles used in white dwarf atmosphere models. X-ra…
Which Hydrogen Balmer Lines Are Most Reliable for Determining White Dwarf Atmospheric Parameters?
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +4
Our preliminary results from laboratory experiments studying white dwarf (WD) photospheres show a systematic difference between experimental plasma conditions inferred from measure…
Parallax diagnostics of radiation source geometric dilution for iron opacity experiments
T. Nagayama, J. E. Bailey, G. Loisel +2
Experimental tests are in progress to evaluate the accuracy of the modeled iron opacity at solar interior conditions [J.E. Bailey et al., Phys. Plasmas 16, 058101 (2009)]. The iron…
