An Experimental Platform for Creating White Dwarf Photospheres in the Laboratory
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +8
We present an experimental platform for measuring hydrogen Balmer emission and absorption line profiles for plasmas with white dwarf (WD) photospheric conditions (T_e ~ 1 eV, n_e ~…
Creating White Dwarf Photospheres in the Laboratory: Strategy for Astrophysics Applications
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +9
Astrophysics experiments by Falcon et al. to create white dwarf photospheres in the laboratory are currently underway. The experimental platform measures Balmer line profiles of a…
A Gravitational Redshift Determination of the Mean Mass of White Dwarfs. DBA and DB Stars
Ross E. Falcon, D. E. Winget, Michael H. Montgomery +1
We measure apparent velocities (v_app) of absorption lines for 36 white dwarfs (WDs) with helium-dominated atmospheres -- 16 DBAs and 20 DBs -- using optical spectra taken for the…
