Empirical Determination of Convection Parameters in White Dwarfs I : Whole Earth Telescope Observations of EC14012-1446
J. L. Provencal, M. H. Montgomery, A. Kanaan +55
We report on analysis of 308.3 hrs of high speed photometry targeting the pulsating DA white dwarf EC14012-1446. The data were acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during…
Further Evidence for Variable Synchrotron Emission in XTE J1118+480 in Outburst
R. I. Hynes, E. L. Robinson, K. J. Pearson +7
We present simultaneous multicolor infrared and optical photometry of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 during its short 2005 January outburst, supported by simultaneous…
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…
Whole Earth Telescope observations of BPM 37093: a seismological test of crystallization theory in white dwarfs
A. Kanaan, A. Nitta, D. E. Winget +3
BPM 37093 is the only hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf currently known which has sufficient mass (~ 1.1 M_sun) to theoretically crystallize while still inside the ZZ Ceti instabilit…
Observations of the pulsating subdwarf B star Feige 48: Constraints on evolution and companions
M. D. Reed, S. D. Kawaler
Since pulsating subdwarf B (sdBV or EC14026) stars were first discovered (Kilkenny et al, 1997), observational efforts have tried to realize their potential for constraining the in…
Discover of the "missing" mode in HR 1217 by the Whole Earth Telescope
D. W. Kurtz, S. D. Kawaler, R. L. Riddle et al.
HR 1217 is a prototypical rapidly oscillating Ap star that has presented a test to the theory of nonradial stellar pulsation. Prior observations showed a clear pattern of five mode…
