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…
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…
Evolutionary sequences for hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs
María E. Camisassa, Leandro G. Althaus, René D. Rohrmann +4
We present a set of full evolutionary sequences for white dwarfs with hydrogen-deficient atmospheres. We take into account the evolutionary history of the progenitor stars, all the…
A common origin of magnetism from planets to white dwarfs
Jordi Isern, Enrique García-Berro, Baybars Külebi +1
Isolated magnetic white dwarfs have field strengths ranging from kilogauss to gigagauss. However, the origin of the magnetic field has not been hitherto elucidated. Whether these f…
The evolution of white dwarfs resulting from helium-enhanced, low-metallicity progenitor stars
Leandro G. Althaus, Francisco C. De Gerónimo, Alejandro H. Córsico +2
Some globular clusters host multiple stellar populations with different chemical abundance patterns. This is particularly true for Centauri, which shows clear evidence of a hel…
