Asteroseismology and the Solar-Stellar Connection
Travis S. Metcalfe
In March 2009, NASA will launch the Kepler satellite -- a mission designed to discover habitable Earth-like planets around distant Sun-like stars. The method that Kepler will use t…
The pulsation modes of the pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035
J. E. S. Costa, S. O. Kepler, D. E. Winget +74
PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T_eff=140,000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-0…
Testing the evolution of the DB white dwarf GD 358: First results of a new approach using asteroseismology
J. M. Gonzalez Perez, T. S. Metcalfe
We present a new method that investigates the evolutionary history of the pulsating DB white dwarf GD358 using asteroseismology. This is done considering the internal C/O profile,…
A deeper understanding of white dwarf interiors
Travis S. Metcalfe
A detailed record of the physical processes that operate during post-main-sequence evolution is contained in the internal chemical structure of white dwarfs. Global pulsations allo…
The Rise and Citation Impact of astro-ph in Major Journals
Travis S. Metcalfe
The rise in the use of the arXiv preprint server (astro-ph) over the past decade has led to a major shift in the way astronomical research is disseminated. Schwarz & Kennicutt (200…
The White Dwarf Luminosity Function: The Shape of Things to Come
T. von Hippel, M. Kilic, J. Munn +10
We describe a new survey for cool white dwarfs that supplements Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry with USNO proper motions and follow-up spectroscopy. To date we have discovered…
