Simulating Gaia performances on white dwarfs
S. Torres, E. Garcia-Berro, J. Isern +1
One of the most promising space missions of ESA is the astrometric satellite Gaia, which will provide very precise astrometry and multicolour photometry, for all 1.3 billion object…
Optimization of time data codification and transmission schemes: Application to Gaia
Jordi Portell, Enrique Garcia-Berro, Xavier Luri
Gaia is an ambitious space observatory devoted to obtain the largest and most precise astrometric catalogue of astronomical objects from our Galaxy and beyond. On-board processing…
The LTP Experiment on the LISA Pathfinder Mission
S. Vitale
We report on the development of the LISA Technology Package (LTP) experiment that will fly on board the LISA Pathfinder mission of the European Space Agency in 2008. We first summa…
The Payload Data Handling and Telemetry Systems of Gaia
Jordi Portell, Xavier Luri, Enrique Garcia-Berro +1
The Payload Data Handling System (PDHS) of Gaia is a technological challenge, since it will have to process a huge amount of data with limited resources. Its main tasks include the…
Limit-cycle behavior in one-zone convective models
A. Munteanu, G. Bono, J. Jose +2
We present the results of a detailed set of one-zone models that account for the coupling between pulsation and convection following the original prescriptions of Stellingwerf (198…
The gravitational collapse of ONe electron-degenerate cores and white dwarfs: the role of Mg and C revisited
J. L. Gutierrez, R. Canal, E. Garcia-Berro
The final stages of the evolution of electron--degenerate ONe cores, resulting from carbon burning in ``heavy weight'' intermediate--mass stars ($8 M_{\sun}\la M \la 11 M_{\sun}$)…
The formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB white dwarfs: the emerging chemical profile and the expectations for the PG1159-DB-DQ evolutionary connection
L. G. Althaus, A. M. Serenelli, J. A. Panei +3
This paper is designed to explore the formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB white dwarfs. To this end, we compute the complete evolution of an initially 2.7 M_sun…
