Circumstellar interaction in the extreme white dwarf merger remnant ZTF\,J1901+1458: A new class of white dwarf merger remnants with X-ray emission

Aayush Desai, Ilaria Caiazzo, Stephane Vennes +31

Double degenerate white dwarf (WD) mergers can exhibit extreme magnetic fields exceeding G and rapid rotation, but their spectral-energy distributions and high-energy emis…

A half-ring of ionized circumstellar material trapped in the magnetosphere of a white dwarf merger remnant

Andrei A. Cristea, Ilaria Caiazzo, Tim Cunningham +31

Many white dwarfs are observed in compact double white dwarf binaries and, through the emission of gravitational waves, a large fraction are destined to merge. The merger remnants…

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…

Magnetic fields in isolated and interacting white dwarfs

Lilia Ferrario, D. T. Wickramasinghe, Adela Kawka

The magnetic white dwarfs (MWDs) are found either isolated or in interacting binaries. They divide into two groups: a high field group (0.1-1,000MegaGauss) comprising some 13% of a…

The Magnetic Fields of White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables

Gordon Briggs, Lilia Ferrario, Christopher Tout +1

The origin of magnetic fields in isolated and binary white dwarfs has been investigated in a series of recent papers. One proposal is that magnetic fields are generated through an…

Origin of magnetic fields in cataclysmic variables

Gordon P. Briggs, Lilia Ferrario, Christopher A. Tout +1

In a series of recent papers, it has been proposed that high field magnetic white dwarfs are the result of close binary interaction and merging. Population synthesis calculations h…
