An asteroseismic test of diffusion theory in white dwarfs
T. S. Metcalfe, R. E. Nather, T. K. Watson +3
The helium-atmosphere (DB) white dwarfs are commonly thought to be the descendants of the hotter PG1159 stars, which initially have uniform He/C/O atmospheres. In this evolutionary…

The effect of 3-He diffusion on the pulsational spectra of DBV models
M. H. Montgomery, T. S. Metcalfe, D. E. Winget
We consider envelopes of DB white dwarfs which are not composed of pure 4-He, but rather a mixture of 3-He and 4-He. Given this assumption, the same diffusive processes which produ…
