Neural Posterior Estimation for White Dwarf Spectroscopic Characterization

Olivier Vincent, Patrick Dufour, Pierre Bergeron

White dwarf spectroscopic characterization is entering a big data era, with the number of spectroscopically characterized white dwarfs expected to grow from 100,000 to over 3…

Synthetic Spectroscopy for White Dwarf Classification: Addressing Label Uncertainty and Class Imbalance

Olivier Vincent, Pierre Bergeron, Patrick Dufour

With the imminent data releases from next-generation spectroscopic surveys, hundreds of thousands of white dwarf spectra are expected to become available within the next few years,…

SDSS J000555.90-100213.5: a hot, magnetic carbon-atmosphere WD rotating with a 2.1 day period

K. A. Lawrie, M. R. Burleigh, P. Dufour +1

A surprisingly large fraction (70%) of hot, carbon dominated atmosphere (DQ) white dwarfs are magnetic and/or photometrically variable on short timescales up to ~1000 s. However, h…
