Uncovering the chemical structure of the pulsating low-mass white dwarf SDSS J115219.99+024814.4
A. D. Romero, G. R. Lauffer, A. G. Istrate +1
Pulsating low-mass white dwarf stars are white dwarfs with stellar masses between 0.30~M and 0.45~M that show photometric variability due to gravity-mode pulsat…
Asteroseismic test of rotational mixing in low-mass white dwarfs
A. G. Istrate, G. Fontaine, A. Gianninas +4
We exploit the recent discovery of pulsations in mixed-atmosphere (He/H), extremely low-mass white dwarf precursors (ELM proto-WDs) to test the proposition that rotational mixing i…
The formation of low-mass helium white dwarfs in close binaries
Alina G. Istrate
Recently, a large number of low-mass (<0.30 M_sun) helium white dwarfs (He WDs) have been discovered as a result of several surveys campaigns such as WASP, ELM, Kepler or SDSS. The…
The formation of low-mass helium white dwarfs orbiting pulsars: Evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries below the bifurcation period
Alina Istrate, Thomas Tauris, Norbert Langer
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are generally believed to be old neutron stars (NSs) which have been spun up to high rotation rates via accretion of matter from a companion star in a lo…
