The Gaia DR1 Mass-Radius Relation for White Dwarfs
P. -E. Tremblay, N. Gentile-Fusillo, R. Raddi +8
The Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) sample of white dwarf parallaxes is presented, including 6 directly observed degenerates and 46 white dwarfs in wide binaries. This data set is combin…
The First Six Outbursting Cool DA White Dwarf Pulsators
Keaton J. Bell, J. J. Hermes, M. H. Montgomery +4
Extensive observations from the Kepler spacecraft have recently revealed a new outburst phenomenon operating in cool pulsating DA (hydrogen atmosphere) white dwarfs (DAVs). With th…
Outbursts in two new cool pulsating DA white dwarfs
Keaton J. Bell, J. J. Hermes, M. H. Montgomery +9
The unprecedented extent of coverage provided by Kepler observations recently revealed outbursts in two hydrogen-atmosphere pulsating white dwarfs (DAVs) that cause hours-long incr…
The Field White Dwarf Mass Distribution
P. -E. Tremblay, J. Cummings, J. S. Kalirai +3
We revisit the properties and astrophysical implications of the field white dwarf mass distribution in preparation of Gaia applications. Our study is based on the two samples with…
Physical parameters of IPHAS-selected classical Be stars. (I. Determination procedure and evaluation of the results.)
L. Gkouvelis, J. Fabregat, J. Zorec +5
We present a semi-automatic procedure to obtain fundamental physical parameters and distances of classical Be (CBe) stars, based on the Barbier-Chalonge-Divan (BCD) spectrophotomet…
A search for white dwarfs in the Galactic plane: the field and the open cluster population
R. Raddi, S. Catalan, B. T. Gaensicke +13
We investigated the prospects for systematic searches of white dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes, using the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) H Photometric Survey of the Galactic plane…
The search for ZZ Ceti stars in the original Kepler mission
S. Greiss, J. J. Hermes, B. T. Gaensicke +11
We report the discovery of 42 white dwarfs in the original Kepler mission field, including nine new confirmed pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars). Guided by…
