Phase Separation in Ultramassive White Dwarfs
Simon Blouin, Jerome Daligault
Ultramassive white dwarfs are extreme endpoints of stellar evolution. Recent findings, such as a missing multi-Gyr cooling delay for a number of ultramassive white dwarfs and a whi…
Ne Phase Separation As A Solution To The Ultramassive White Dwarf Cooling Anomaly
Simon Blouin, Jerome Daligault, Didier Saumon
The precise astrometric measurements of the Gaia Data Release 2 have opened the door to detailed tests of the predictions of white dwarf cooling models. Significant discrepancies b…
Toward Precision Cosmochronology: A New C/O Phase Diagram for White Dwarfs
Simon Blouin, Jérôme Daligault, Didier Saumon +2
The continuous cooling of a white dwarf is punctuated by events that affect its cooling rate. Probably the most significant of those is the crystallization of its core, a phase tra…
Diffusion coefficients in the envelopes of white dwarfs
R. A. Heinonen, D. Saumon, J. Daligault +3
The diffusion of elements is a key process in understanding the unusual surface composition of white dwarfs stars and their spectral evolution. The diffusion coefficients of Paquet…
Diffusion coefficients in white dwarfs
D. Saumon, C. E. Starrett, J. Daligault
Models of diffusion in white dwarfs universally rely on the coefficients calculated by Paquette et al. (1986). We present new calculations of diffusion coefficients based on an adv…
