Hydrogen photoionization in a magnetized medium: the rigid-wavefunction approach revisited
René D. Rohrmann
Realistic modeling of stellar spectra requires accurate radiative opacity coefficients. Owing to the fragmentary nature of existing data from rigorous quantum-mechanical calculatio…
A second candidate magnetic helium core white dwarf and 3 other variable white dwarfs in the globular cluster NGC 6397
Manuel Pichardo Marcano, Liliana E. Rivera Sandoval, Thomas J. Maccarone +5
Using archival Hubble Space Telescope observations, we report the discovery of four variable low-mass white dwarfs () in the globular clu…
Strong signature of right-handed circularly polarized photoionization close to the cyclotron line in the atmosphere of magnetic white dwarfs
René D. Rohrmann
Magnetic fields break the symmetry of the interaction of atoms with photons with different polarizations, yielding chirality and anisotropy properties. The dependence of the absorp…
A numerical code for the analysis of magnetic white dwarf spectra that includes field effects on the chemical equilibrium
MatÃas Vera-Rueda, René D. Rohrmann
We present a new magnetic-atmosphere model code for obtaining synthetic spectral fluxes of hydrogen-rich magnetic white dwarfs. To date, observed spectra have been analyzed with mo…
