Hunting for Polluted White Dwarfs and Other Treasures with Gaia XP Spectra and Unsupervised Machine Learning
Malia L. Kao, Keith Hawkins, Laura K. Rogers +5
White dwarfs (WDs) polluted by exoplanetary material provide the unprecedented opportunity to directly observe the interiors of exoplanets. However, spectroscopic surveys are often…
Fluid Mixing during Phase Separation in Crystallizing White Dwarfs
M. H. Montgomery, Bart H. Dunlap
Accurate models of cooling white dwarfs must treat the energy released as their cores crystallize. This phase transition slows the cooling by releasing latent heat and also gravita…
Variability in Hot Carbon-Dominated Atmosphere (hot DQ) White Dwarfs: Rapid Rotation?
Kurtis A. Williams, M. H. Montgomery, D. E. Winget +2
Hot white dwarfs with carbon-dominated atmospheres (hot DQs) are a cryptic class of white dwarfs. In addition to their deficiency of hydrogen and helium, most of these stars are hi…
The Effect of Crystallization on the Pulsations of White Dwarf Stars
M. H. Montgomery, D. E. Winget
We consider the pulsational properties of white dwarf star models with temperatures appropriate for the ZZ Ceti instability strip and with masses large enough that they should be s…
Evolutionary calculations of phase separation in crystallizing white dwarf stars
M. H. Montgomery, E. W. Klumpe, D. E. Winget +1
We present an exploration of the significance of Carbon/Oxygen phase separation in white dwarf stars in the context of self-consistent evolutionary calculations. Because phase sepa…
