Current and Future White Dwarf Mass-radius Constraints on Varying Fundamental Couplings and Unification Scenarios

D. M. N. Magano, J. M. A. Vilas Boas, C. J. A. P. Martins

We discuss the feasibility of using astrophysical observations of white dwarfs as probes of fundamental physics. We quantify the effects of varying fundamental couplings on the whi…
