Axions and the white dwarf luminosity function
J. Isern, S. Catalan, E. Garcia-Berro +1
The evolution of white dwarfs can be described as a simple cooling process. Recently, it has been possible to determine with an unprecedented precision their luminosity function, t…
Axions and the cooling of white dwarf stars
J. Isern, E. Garcia-Berro, S. Torres +1
White dwarfs are the end-product of the lifes of intermediate- and low-mass stars and their evolution is described as a simple cooling process. Recently, it has been possible to de…
The initial-final mass relationship of white dwarfs revisited: effect on the luminosity function and mass distribution
S. Catalan, J. Isern, E. Garcia-Berro +1
The initial-final mass relationship connects the mass of a white dwarf with the mass of its progenitor in the main-sequence. Although this function is of fundamental importance to…
The initial-final mass relationship from white dwarfs in common proper motion pairs
S. Catalan, J. Isern, E. Garcia-Berro +3
The initial-final mass relationship of white dwarfs, which is poorly constrained, is of paramount importance for different aspects in modern astrophysics. From an observational per…
