Testing Fundamental Particle Physics with the Galactic White Dwarf Luminosity Function
Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami, Brenda E. Melendez, Leandro G. Althaus +1
Recent determinations of the white dwarf luminosity function (WDLF) from very large surveys have extended our knowledge of the WDLF to very high luminosities. It has been shown tha…
The white dwarf cooling sequence of 47 Tucanae
Enrique García-Berro, Santiago Torres, Leandro G. Althaus +1
47 Tucanae is one of the most interesting and well observed and theoretically studied globular clusters. This allows us to study the reliability of our understanding of white dwarf…
Constraining the neutrino magnetic dipole moment from white dwarf pulsations
Alejandro H. Córsico, Leandro G. Althaus, Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami +2
Pulsating white dwarf stars can be used as astrophysical laboratories to constrain the properties of weakly interacting particles. Comparing the cooling rates of these stars with t…
Revisiting the axion bounds from the Galactic white dwarf luminosity function
Marcelo M. Miller Bertolami, Brenda E. Melendez, Leandro G. Althaus +1
It has been shown that the shape of the luminosity function of white dwarfs (WDLF) is a powerful tool to check for the possible existence of DFSZ-axions, a proposed but not yet det…
