Forging neon-distilling white dwarfs in the stellar engulfments of helium white dwarfs

Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller

Once carbon--oxygen white dwarfs cool sufficiently, they crystallize from the inside out. If the white dwarf is rich enough in , these crystallized solids are b…

Radiatively Cooled Binary Mass Transfer: Flow Structure, Luminosities, and L2 Outflows Across Mass Transfer Rates

Peter Scherbak, Wenbin Lu, Jim Fuller

High rates of stable mass transfer (MT) occur for some binary star systems, resulting in luminous transients and circumbinary outflows (CBOs). We perform hydrodynamical simulations…

A half-ring of ionized circumstellar material trapped in the magnetosphere of a white dwarf merger remnant

Andrei A. Cristea, Ilaria Caiazzo, Tim Cunningham +31

Many white dwarfs are observed in compact double white dwarf binaries and, through the emission of gravitational waves, a large fraction are destined to merge. The merger remnants…

Seismology and diffusion of ultramassive white dwarf magnetic fields

Daniel Blatman, Nicholas Z. Rui, Sivan Ginzburg +1

Ultramassive white dwarfs (UMWDs; defined by masses ) are prime targets for seismology, because they pass through the ZZ Ceti instability strip at the s…

It's not just a phase: oblique pulsations in magnetic red giants and other stochastic oscillators

Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller, J. M. Joel Ong

Magnetic fields play a significant role in stellar evolution. In the last few years, asteroseismology has enabled the measurement of strong magnetic fields --$10^6\,\mathrm{G…

Magnetic dynamos powered by white dwarf superficial convection

Rom Yaakovyan, Sivan Ginzburg, Jim Fuller +1

When the effective temperature of a cooling white dwarf drops below the ionization limit, it develops a surface convection zone that may generate a magnetic field …
