High resolution optical spectroscopy of Praesepe white dwarfs ⋆
We present the results of a high resolution optical spectroscopic study of nine white dwarf candidate members of Praesepe undertaken with the VLT and UVES. We find, contrary to a number of previous studies, that WD0836+201 (LB390, EG59) and WD0837+199 (LB393, EG61) are magnetic and non-magnetic white dwarfs respectively. Subsequently, we determine the radial velocities for the eight non-magneti...
متن کاملAccreting White Dwarfs
Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae are explosions in accreting white dwarfs, but the exact scenario leading to these explosions is still unclear. An important step to clarify this point is to understand the behaviour of accreting white dwarfs in close binary systems. The characteristics of the white dwarf (mass, chemical composition, luminosity), the accreted material (chemical composition) and...
متن کاملMagnetic Accretion Onto White Dwarfs
The influence of the magnetic field on process of the accretion onto White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) is discussed. Except for the Polars or AM Her objects, the strength of magnetic field can not be measured directly in CVs by modern techniques. But there is growing evidence that most of the types of Cataclysmic Variables classified on the basis of their observational characteristics...
متن کاملObservations of Ultracool White Dwarfs
We present new spectroscopic and photometric measurements of the white dwarfs LHS 3250 and WD 0346]246. Along with F351[50, these white dwarfs are the coolest ones known, all with e†ective temperatures below 4000 K. Their membership in the Galactic halo population is discussed, and detailed comparisons of all three objects with new atmosphere models are presented. The new models consider the e†...
متن کاملWhite dwarfs and dark matter.
Based on the identification of 38 white dwarfs with halo kinematics, in a survey covering 10% of the sky near the south galactic pole, Oppenheimer et al. (1) argued that at least 2% of the dark matter in the Milky Way galaxy has now been detected directly. Put into context, the Oppenheimer et al. result implies that the stellar remnant mass of the halo may be comparable to that of the entire di...
