An Isolated White Dwarf with a 70 second Spin Period
Mukremin Kilic, Alekzander Kosakowski, Adam G. Moss +2
We report the discovery of an isolated white dwarf with a spin period of 70 s. We obtained high speed photometry of three ultramassive white dwarfs within 100 pc, and discovered si…
The Discovery of Two LISA Sources within 0.5 kpc
Mukremin Kilic, Warren R. Brown, A. Bedard +1
We report the discovery of the brightest detached binary white dwarfs with periods less than an hour, which provide two new gravitational wave verification binaries for the Laser I…
The Most Massive White Dwarfs in the Solar Neighborhood
Mukremin Kilic, P. Bergeron, Simon Blouin +1
We present an analysis of the most massive white dwarf candidates in the Montreal White Dwarf Database 100 pc sample. We identify 25 objects that would be more massive than $1.3~M_…
The White Dwarfs of the Old, Solar Metallicity Open Star Cluster Messier 67: Properties and Progenitors
Paul A. Canton, Kurtis A. Williams, Mukremin Kilic +1
The old, solar metallicity open cluster Messier 67 has long been considered a lynchpin in the study and understanding of the structure and evolution of solar-type stars. The same i…
Hidden in Plain Sight: A Double-lined White Dwarf Binary 26 pc Away and a Distant Cousin
Mukremin Kilic, A. Bedard, P. Bergeron
We present high-resolution spectroscopy of two nearby white dwarfs with inconsistent spectroscopic and parallax distances. The first one, PG 1632+177, is a 13th magnitude white dwa…
