An Experimental Platform for Creating White Dwarf Photospheres in the Laboratory
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +8
We present an experimental platform for measuring hydrogen Balmer emission and absorption line profiles for plasmas with white dwarf (WD) photospheric conditions (T_e ~ 1 eV, n_e ~…
Creating White Dwarf Photospheres in the Laboratory: Strategy for Astrophysics Applications
Ross E. Falcon, G. A. Rochau, J. E. Bailey +9
Astrophysics experiments by Falcon et al. to create white dwarf photospheres in the laboratory are currently underway. The experimental platform measures Balmer line profiles of a…
The Spectral Evolution of Convective Mixing White Dwarfs, the non-DA Gap, and White Dwarf Cosmochronology
Eugene Y. Chen, Brad M. S. Hansen
The spectral distribution of field white dwarfs shows a feature called the "non-DA gap". As defined by Bergeron et al., this is a temperature range (5100K--6100K) where relatively…
Old White Dwarf Stars with Some Hydrogen -- Cooling Curves
Eugene Y. Chen, Brad M. S. Hansen
We present theoretical analysis on old white dwarf stars with \emph{some} hydrogen, that possess a mass of surface hydrogen from $1\times10^{-11}M_{\sun}$ to $1\times10^{-7}M_{\sun…
