I Can Do It With A Broken Planetesimal: Characterising the planetary debris in heavily polluted cool white dwarfs

Anna-Maria Cutolo, Boris T. Gänsicke, Andrew Swan +7

We present the analysis of four cool and strongly metal-polluted H-atmosphere white dwarfs observed with X-shooter. We compared their atmospheric parameters obtained from spectrosc…

Systematic uncertainties in the characterisation of helium-dominated metal-polluted white dwarf atmospheres

Paula Izquierdo, Boris T. Gänsicke, Pablo Rodríguez-Gil +5

White dwarf photospheric parameters are usually obtained by means of spectroscopic or photometric analysis. These results are not always consistent with each other, with the publis…

Pulsating H-deficient WDs and pre-WDs observed with TESS: V. Discovery of two new DBV pulsators, WD J152738.4-450207.4 and WD 1708-871, and asteroseismology of the already known DBV stars PG 1351+489, EC 20058-5234, and EC 04207-4748

Alejandro H. Córsico, Murat Uzundag, S. O. Kepler +9

The {\sl TESS} space mission has recently demonstrated its great potential to discover new pulsating white dwarf and pre-white dwarf stars, and to detect periodicities with high pr…

Spectral analysis of ultra-cool white dwarfs polluted by planetary debris

Abbigail K. Elms, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +5

We identify two ultra-cool ( K) metal-polluted (DZ) white dwarfs WDJ21474035 and WDJ19220233 as the coolest and second coolest DZ stars known to date w…

Kinematic properties of white dwarfs. Galactic orbital parameters and age-velocity dispersion relation

R. Raddi, S. Torres, A. Rebassa-Mansergas +9

We present the first detailed 3D kinematic analysis of a sample of 3133 white dwarfs that use Gaia astrometry plus radial velocities, which were measured either by Gaia or by groun…

J-PLUS: Spectral evolution of white dwarfs by PDF analysis

C. López-Sanjuan, P. -E. Tremblay, A. Ederoclite +17

We estimated the spectral evolution of white dwarfs with effective temperature using the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) second data release (DR2), that provi…

Can magnetic fields suppress convection in the atmosphere of cool white dwarfs? A case study on WD2105-820

Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Stefan Jordan +3

Around 10% of white dwarfs exhibit global magnetic structures with fields ranging from 1 kG to hundreds of MG. Recently, the first radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the…

Using large spectroscopic surveys to test the double degenerate model for Type Ia supernovae

E. Breedt, D. Steeghs, T. R. Marsh +10

An observational constraint on the contribution of double degenerates to Type Ia supernovae requires multiple radial velocity measurements of ideally thousands of white dwarfs. Thi…
