Mass-radius relations for massive white dwarf stars
L. G. Althaus, E. García--Berro, J. Isern +1
We present detailed theoretical mass-radius relations for massive white dwarf stars with oxygen-neon cores. This work is motivated by recent observational evidence about the existe…
The formation of DA white dwarfs with thin hydrogen envelopes
L. G. Althaus, M. M. Miller Bertolami, A. H. Córsico +2
We study the formation and evolution of DA white dwarfs, the progenitors of which have experienced a late thermal pulse (LTP) shortly after the departure from the thermally pulsing…
Can pulsating PG1159 stars place constraints on the occurrence of core overshooting?
A. H. Córsico, L. G. Althaus
The present letter is aimed at exploring the influence of overshooting during the central helium burning in pre-white dwarf progenitors on the pulsational properties of PG1159 star…
The formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB white dwarfs: the emerging chemical profile and the expectations for the PG1159-DB-DQ evolutionary connection
L. G. Althaus, A. M. Serenelli, J. A. Panei +3
This paper is designed to explore the formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB white dwarfs. To this end, we compute the complete evolution of an initially 2.7 M_sun…
