White Dwarf Natal Kicks as Velocity-Space Random Walks. I. Fokker-Planck Theory
Stephen Majeski, Dang Pham, Taeho Ryu +2
White dwarfs are the most common end state of stellar evolution, including that of our own Sun, making their formation critical to completing a more comprehensive understanding of…
White Dwarf Natal Kicks as Velocity-Space Random Walks. II. Binary Stellar Evolution and Observational Kick Constraints
Dang Pham, Stephen Majeski, Taeho Ryu +2
Wide binaries containing white dwarfs (WDs) provide a pathway to exploring post-main-sequence (MS) natal kicks associated with asymmetric mass loss. In this work, we develop a bina…
The Effects of Magnetic Accretion on the Spatial Extent of White Dwarf Pollution
Dang Pham, Aster G. Taylor, Tim Cunningham
Many white dwarfs are polluted by metals, which are generally understood to be the accreted remnants of a planetary system. Modeling these systems typically assumes that the metal…
Stellar separation shapes spin-orbit alignment in visual binaries
Michael Poon, Dang Pham, Marta L. Bryan +2
Stellar binaries may form through several formation pathways, including disk or core fragmentation. Their spin-orbit angles are a signature of formation, although individual measur…
