The formation of ultra-massive carbon-oxygen core white dwarfs and their evolutionary and pulsational properties
Leandro G. Althaus, Pilar Gil Pons, Alejandro H. Córsico +6
(Abridged abstract) We explore the formation of ultra-massive (M_{\rm WD} \gtrsim 1.05 M_\sun$), carbon-oxygen core white dwarfs resulting from single stellar evolution. We also st…
Forever young white dwarfs: when stellar ageing stops
María E. Camisassa, Leandro G. Althaus, Santiago Torres +5
White dwarf stars are the most common end point of stellar evolution. Of special interest are the ultramassive white dwarfs, as they are related to type Ia Supernovae explosions, m…
An ultra-massive white dwarf with a mixed hydrogen-carbon atmosphere as a likely merger remnant
Mark A. Hollands, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +11
White dwarfs are dense, cooling stellar embers consisting mostly of carbon and oxygen, or oxygen and neon (with a few percent carbon) at higher initial stellar masses. These stella…
