A rotating white dwarf shows different compositions on its opposite faces
Ilaria Caiazzo, Kevin B. Burdge, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +35
White dwarfs, the extremely dense remnants left behind by most stars after their death, are characterised by a mass comparable to that of the Sun compressed into the size of an Ear…
The fastest stars in the Galaxy
Kareem El-Badry, Ken J. Shen, Vedant Chandra +18
We report a spectroscopic search for hypervelocity white dwarfs (WDs) that are runaways from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and related thermonuclear explosions. Candidates are select…
A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39
When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…
Gravity waves in strong magnetic fields
Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller
Strong magnetic fields in the cores of stars are expected to significantly modify the behavior of gravity waves: this is likely the origin of suppressed dipole modes observed in ma…
Linking the Interiors and Surfaces of Magnetic Stars
Jim Fuller, Stephane Mathis
Strong magnetic fields are observed in a substantial fraction of upper main sequence stars and white dwarfs. Many such stars are observed to exhibit photometric modulations as the…
White dwarf binaries suggest a common envelope efficiency
Peter Scherbak, Jim Fuller
Common envelope (CE) evolution, which is crucial in creating short period binaries and associated astrophysical events, can be constrained by reverse modeling of such binaries' for…
