The effects of Ne sedimentation and metallicity on the local 40 pc white dwarf luminosity function
Jordi Tononi, Santiago Torres, Enrique García-Berro +3
We analyze the effect of the sedimentation of Ne on the local white dwarf luminosity function by studying scenarios under different Galactic metallicity models. We make use…
On the evolution of ultra-massive white dwarfs
María E. Camisassa, Leandro G. Althaus, Alejandro H. Córsico +6
Ultra-massive white dwarfs are powerful tools to study various physical processes in the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), type Ia supernova explosions and the theory of crystallizati…
Spatial variation of fundamental constants: testing models with thermonuclear supernovae
Carolina Negrelli, Lucila Kraiselburd, Susana J. Landau +1
Since Dirac stated his Large Number Hypothesis the space-time variation of fundamental constants has been an active subject of research. Here we analyze the possible spatial variat…
The population of single and binary white dwarfs of the Galactic bulge
S. Torres, E. García-Berro, R. Cojocaru +1
Recent Hubble Space Telescope observations have unveiled the white dwarf cooling sequence of the Galactic bulge. Although the degenerate sequence can be well fitted employing the m…
One-Armed Spiral Instability in Double-Degenerate Post-Merger Accretion Disks
Rahul Kashyap, Robert Fisher, Enrique García-Berro +3
Increasing observational and theoretical evidence points to binary white dwarf mergers as the origin of some if not most normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). In this paper, we discu…
White dwarf dynamical interactions and fast optical transients
Enrique García-Berro, Carles Badenes, Gabriela Aznar-Siguán +1
Recent advances in time-domain astronomy have uncovered a new class of optical transients with timescales shorter than typical supernovae and a wide range of peak luminosities. Sev…
