Detection of a weak magnetic field in the Balmer emission line white dwarf WDJ1653-1001

Abbigail Elms, Stefano Bagnulo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +8

The small DAHe and DAe spectral classes comprise isolated, hydrogen-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs that exhibit variable photometric flux and Balmer line emission. These mysteri…

Faint southern spectrophotometric standard stars

N. P. Gentile Fusillo, S. Moehler, N. Przybilla +4

Context. The advent of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will increase the collecting area by more than an order of magnitude compared to the individual Unit Telescopes of the Ve…

A network of cooler white dwarfs as infrared standards for flux calibration

Abbigail K. Elms, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +6

The accurate flux calibration of observational data is vital for astrophysics and cosmology because absolute flux uncertainties of stellar standards propagate into scientific resul…

The Gaia white dwarf revolution

Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Antoine Bédard, Mairi W. O'Brien +4

This review highlights the role of the Gaia space mission in transforming white dwarf research. These stellar remnants constitute 5-7% of the local stellar population in volume, ye…

An emerging and enigmatic spectral class of isolated DAe white dwarfs

Abbigail K. Elms, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +9

Two recently discovered white dwarfs, WDJ041246.84754942.26 and WDJ165335.21100116.33, exhibit H and H Balmer line emission similar to stars in the emerging DAHe class,…

Spectral analysis of ultra-cool white dwarfs polluted by planetary debris

Abbigail K. Elms, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +5

We identify two ultra-cool ( K) metal-polluted (DZ) white dwarfs WDJ21474035 and WDJ19220233 as the coolest and second coolest DZ stars known to date w…
