Kepler and TESS Observations of PG 1159-035
Gabriela Oliveira da Rosa, S. O. Kepler, Alejandro H. Córsico +11
PG 1159-035 is the prototype of the DOV hot pre-white dwarf pulsators. It was observed during the Kepler satellite K2 mission for 69 days in 59 s cadence mode and by the TESS satel…
I Spy Transits and Pulsations: Empirical Variability in White Dwarfs Using Gaia and the Zwicky Transient Facility
Joseph A. Guidry, Zachary P. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes +13
We present a novel method to detect variable astrophysical objects and transient phenomena using anomalous excess scatter in repeated measurements from public catalogs of Gaia DR2…
An Isolated White Dwarf with 317-Second Rotation and Magnetic Emission
Joshua S. Reding, J. J. Hermes, Z. Vanderbosch +5
We report the discovery of short-period photometric variability and modulated Zeeman-split hydrogen emission in SDSSJ125230.93-023417.72 (EPIC 228939929), a variable white dwarf st…
Limits on Mode Coherence in Pulsating DA White Dwarfs Due to a Non-static Convection Zone
M. H. Montgomery, J. J. Hermes, D. E. Winget +2
The standard theory of pulsations deals with the frequencies and growth rates of infinitesimal perturbations in a stellar model. Modes which are calculated to be linearly driven sh…
A White Dwarf with Transiting Circumstellar Material Far Outside the Roche Limit
Z. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes, E. Dennihy +9
We report the discovery of a white dwarf exhibiting deep, irregularly shaped transits, indicative of circumstellar planetary debris. Using Zwicky Transient Facility DR2 photometry…
Core crystallization and pile-up in the cooling sequence of evolving white dwarfs
Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Gilles Fontaine, Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo +7
White dwarfs are stellar embers depleted of nuclear energy sources that cool over billions of years. These stars, which are supported by electron degeneracy pressure, reach densiti…
