Measuring the fine structure constant on a white dwarf surface; a detailed analysis of Fe V absorption in G191-B2B
J. Hu, J. K. Webb, T. R. Ayres +12
The gravitational potential phi = GM/Rc^2 at the surface of the white dwarf G191-B2B is 10,000 times stronger than that at the Earth's surface. Numerous photospheric absorption fea…
A far-UV survey of three hot, metal-polluted white dwarf stars: WD0455-282, WD0621-376, and WD2211-495
S. P. Preval, M. A. Barstow, M. Bainbridge +7
Using newly obtained high-resolution data () from the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope}, and archival UV data from the \textit{Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic E…
Constraining the magnetic field on white dwarf surfaces; Zeeman effects and fine structure constant variation
J. Hu, J. K. Webb, T. R. Ayres +12
White dwarf atmospheres are subjected to gravitational potentials around times larger than occur on Earth. They provide a unique environment in which to search for any possi…
Multi-wavelength observations of the EUV variable metal-rich white dwarf GD 394
David J. Wilson, Boris T. Gaensicke, Detlev Koester +13
We present new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ultraviolet and ground-based optical observations of the hot, metal-rich white dwarf GD 394. Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) observations in 1…
A Quantitative Comparison of Opacities Calculated Using the Distorted- Wave and -Matrix Methods
F. Delahaye, N. R. Badnell, C. P. Ballance +7
The present debate on the reliability of astrophysical opacities has reached a new climax with the recent measurements of Fe opacities on the Z-machine at the Sandia National Labor…
Towards a standardised line list for G191-B2B, and other DA type objects
Simon P. Preval, Martin A. Barstow, Jay B. Holberg +1
We present a comprehensive analysis of the far UV spectrum of G191-B2B over the range of 900-1700Å using co-added data from the FUSE and STIS archives. While previous identificatio…
