Mean ZZ Ceti pulsation period gauges stellar temperature
Anjum S. Mukadam, M. H. Montgomery, A. Kim +3
The mean pulsation period of ZZ Ceti stars increases with decreasing effective temperature as we traverse from the blue to the red edge of the instability strip. This well-establis…

Driving in ZZ Ceti stars - Problem solved?
A. Kim, D. E. Winget, M. H. Montgomery +1
There is a fairly tight correlation between the pulsation periods and effective temperatures of ZZ Ceti stars (cooler stars have longer periods). This seems to fit the theoretical…

Exploring uncharted territory in particles physics using pulsating white dwarfs: Prospects
Agnes Kim, D. E. Winget, M. H. Montgomery
Pulsating white dwarfs, especially DBVs, can be used as laboratories to study elusive particles such as plasmon neutrinos and axions. In the degenerate interiors of DBVs, plasmon d…
