Magnetic White Dwarfs: Observations, Theory, and Future Prospects
Enrique García-Berro, Mukremin Kilic, S. O. Kepler
Isolated magnetic white dwarfs have field strengths ranging from kilogauss to gigagauss, and constitute an interesting class of objects. The origin of the magnetic field is still t…
Revisiting the luminosity function of single halo white dwarfs
R. Cojocaru, S. Torres, L. G. Althaus +2
White dwarfs are the fossils left by the evolution of low-and intermediate-mass stars, and have very long evolutionary timescales. This allows us to use them to explore the propert…
White dwarf evolutionary sequences for low-metallicity progenitors: The impact of third dredge-up
Leandro G. Althaus, María E. Camisassa, Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami +2
We present new white dwarf evolutionary sequences for low-metallicity progenitors. White dwarf sequences have been derived from full evolutionary calculations that take into accoun…
Spiral Disk Instability Can Drive Thermonuclear Explosions in Binary White Dwarf Mergers
Rahul Kashyap, Robert Fisher, Enrique García-Berro +3
Thermonuclear, or Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), originate from the explosion of carbon--oxygen white dwarfs, and serve as standardizable cosmological candles. However, despite their…
