An Interacting Binary System Powers Precessing Outflows of an Evolved Star
Henri M. J. Boffin, Brent Miszalski, Thomas Rauch +5
Stars are generally spherical, yet their gaseous envelopes often appear non-spherical when ejected near the end of their lives. This quirk is most notable during the planetary nebu…
Panchromatic Calibration of Astronomical Observations with State-of-the-Art White Dwarf Model Atmospheres
T. Rauch
Theoretical spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of white dwarfs provide a powerful tool for cross-calibration and sensitivity control of instruments from the far infrared to the X…
Observations and NLTE Modeling of the Gaseous Planetary Debris Disk around Ton 345
S. Hartmann, T. Nagel, T. Rauch +1
Debris disks around single white dwarfs are thought to be the remains of planetary bodies disrupted by tidal forces. Ongoing accretion of the hereby produced dust allows to detect…
The orbits of subdwarf B + main-sequence binaries. I: The sdB+G0 system PG 1104+243
J. Vos, R. H. Östensen, P. Degroote +18
The predicted orbital period histogram of an sdB population is bimodal with a peak at short (< 10 days) and long (> 250 days) periods. Observationally, there are many short-period…
Metal Abundances in Hot DO White Dwarfs
K. Werner, T. Rauch, E. Ringat +1
The relatively high abundance of carbon in the hot DO white dwarf RE0503-289 indicates that it is a descendant of a PG1159 star. This is corroborated by the recent detection of the…
Stellar laboratories: new Ge V and Ge VI oscillator strengths and their validation in the hot white dwarf RE 0503-289
T. Rauch, K. Werner, E. Biemont +2
State-of-the-art spectral analysis of hot stars by means of non-LTE model-atmosphere techniques has arrived at a high level of sophistication. The analysis of high-resolution and h…
