Effective Temperatures of Cataclysmic Variable White Dwarfs as a Probe of their Evolution
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Townsley +29
We present HST spectroscopy for 45 cataclysmic variables (CVs), observed with HST/COS and HST/STIS. For 36 CVs, the white dwarf is recognisable through its broad Ly absorption p…
GW Librae: A unique laboratory for pulsations in an accreting white dwarf
O. Toloza, B. T. Gaensicke, J. J. Hermes +22
Non-radial pulsations have been identified in a number of accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables. These stars offer insight into the excitation of pulsation modes in atmos…
Stellar archaeology with Gaia: the Galactic white dwarf population
Boris Gaensicke, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Martin Barstow +23
Gaia will identify several 1e5 white dwarfs, most of which will be in the solar neighborhood at distances of a few hundred parsecs. Ground-based optical follow-up spectroscopy of t…
The Composition Of A Disrupted Extrasolar Planetesimal At SDSS J0845+2257 (Ton 345)
David J. Wilson, Boris T. Gaensicke, Detlev Koester +4
We present a detailed study of the metal-polluted DB white dwarf SDSS J0845+2257 (Ton 345). Using high-resolution HST/COS and VLT spectroscopy, we have detected hydrogen and eleven…
