The White Dwarf Population in NGC 1039 (M34) and the White Dwarf Initial-Final Mass Relation
Kate H. R. Rubin, Kurtis A. Williams, M. Bolte +1
We present the first detailed photometric and spectroscopic study of the white dwarfs (WDs) in the field of the ~225 Myr old (log tau_cl = 8.35) open cluster NGC 1039 (M34) as part…
On the radial distribution of white dwarfs in the Galactic globular cluster Omega Cen
A. Calamida, C. E. Corsi, G. Bono +14
We present deep and accurate photometry (F435W, F625W, F658N) of the Galactic Globular Cluster Omega Cen collected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Sp…
White Dwarf Luminosity and Mass Functions from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectra
Steven DeGennaro, Ted von Hippel, D. E. Winget +4
We present the first phase in our ongoing work to use Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data to create separate white dwarf (WD) luminosity functions for two or more different mass r…
Post Common Envelope Binaries from SDSS. I: 101 white dwarf main sequence binaries with multiple SDSS spectroscopy
A. Rebassa-Mansergas, B. T. Gaensicke, P. Rodriguez-Gil +2
We present a detailed analysis of 101 white dwarf-main sequence binaries (WDMS) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for which multiple SDSS spectra are available. We detect si…
Six New ZZ Ceti Stars from the SPY and the HQS Surveys
B. Voss, D. Koester, R. Østensen +3
We report on the discovery of six new ZZ Ceti stars. They were selected as candidates based on preparatory photometric observations of objects from the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS),…
Double degenerates and progenitors of supernovae type Ia
R. Napiwotzki, L. Yungelson, G. Nelemans +12
We report on systematic radial velocity surveys for white dwarf - white dwarf binaries (double degenerates - DDs) including SPY (ESO Supernovae Ia progenitor survey) recently carri…
