New DA white dwarf evolutionary models and their pulsational properties
In this letter we investigate the pulsational properties of ZZ Ceti stars on the basis of new white dwarf evolutionary models calculated in a self-consistent way with the predictions of time dependent element diffusion and nuclear burning. In addition, full account is taken of the evolutionary stages prior to the white dwarf formation. Emphasis is placed on the trapping properties of such model...
متن کاملDiffusion of neon in white dwarf stars.
Sedimentation of the neutron rich isotope 22Ne may be an important source of gravitational energy during the cooling of white dwarf stars. This depends on the diffusion constant for 22Ne in strongly coupled plasma mixtures. We calculate self-diffusion constants D(i) from molecular dynamics simulations of carbon, oxygen, and neon mixtures. We find that D(i) in a mixture does not differ greatly f...
متن کاملthe black hole and the white dwarf
astrophysics is becoming now an integral part of general physics. considering the black hole theory ,which is a new and exciting branch of relativistic astrophysics, we see many connections between elementary particle physics and astrophysics. in this article we attempt to explain the development of star physics ,in an easy ,understandable manner. previous knowledge of relativistic theory or cl...
متن کاملAnalysis of ultraviolet and extreme-ultraviolet spectra of the DA white dwarf G 191-B2B using self-consistent diffusion models
We present a multi–wavelength spectral analysis of the DA white dwarf G 191-B2B. The employed atmospheric models account for gravitational settling and radiative levitation, which are, for the first time, calculated self-consistently with the atmospheric structure. The resulting spectra can reproduce the complete EUVE spectrum and the ultraviolet lines of iron. Some restrictions regarding the U...
متن کاملWhite dwarf atmosphere models with Ly - α opacity in the analysis of the white dwarf cooling sequence of NGC 6397
Aims. We discuss the importance of pure hydrogen white dwarf atmosphere models with Ly-α far red wing opacity in the analysis of the white dwarf cooling sequence of the globular cluster NGC 6397. Methods. Our recently improved atmosphere models account for the previously missing opacity from the Ly-α hydrogen line broadened by collisions of the absorbing hydrogen atoms with molecular and atomic...
