Towards an Understanding of the Atmospheres of Cool White Dwarfs
Piotr M. Kowalski, Didier Saumon, Jay Holberg +1
Cool white dwarfs with Teff < 6000 K are the remnants of the oldest stars that existed in our Galaxy. Their atmospheres, when properly characterized, can provide valuable informati…
The 0.8-14.5 micron Spectra of Mid-L to Mid-T Dwarfs: Diagnostics of Effective Temperature, Grain Sedimentation, Gas Transport, and Surface Gravity
D. C. Stephens, S. K. Leggett, Michael C. Cushing +6
We present new 5.2-14.5 micron low-resolution spectra of 14 mid-L to mid-T dwarfs, as well as 3.0-4.1 micron spectra for five of these dwarfs. These data are supplemented by existi…
A Photometric Analysis of ZZ Ceti Stars: A Parameter-Free Temperature Indicator?
P. Bergeron, S. K. Leggett, H. C. Harris
We present a model atmosphere analysis of optical VRI and infrared JHK photometric data of about two dozen ZZ Ceti stars. We first show from a theoretical point of view that the re…
