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…

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…

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…

Discovery of the richest pulsating ultra-massive white dwarf

Francisco C. De Geronimo, Murat Uzundag, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +5

The discovery of pulsations in ultra-massive white dwarfs can help to probe their interiors and unveil their core composition and crystallized mass fraction through asteroseismic t…

The Emerging Class of Double-Faced White Dwarfs

Adam Moss, Mukremin Kilic, Pierre Bergeron +2

We report our findings on a spectroscopic survey of seven unresolved DA+DB binary white dwarf candidates. We have discovered extreme spectroscopic variations in one of these candid…
