Circumstellar features in hot DA white dwarfs
We present a phenomenological study of highly ionised, non-photospheric absorption features in high spectral resolution vacuum ultraviolet spectra of 23 hot DA white dwarfs. Prior to this study, four of the survey objects (Feige 24, REJ 0457-281, G191B2B and REJ 1614-085) were known to possess these features. We find four new objects with multiple components in one or more of the principal reso...
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 کاملTwo white dwarfs with oxygen-rich atmospheres.
Stars with masses ranging from 7 to 10 times the mass of the Sun end their lives either as massive white dwarfs or weak type II supernovae, but there are only limited observational constraints on either evolutionary channel. Here we report the detection of two white dwarfs with large photospheric oxygen abundances, implying that they are bare oxygen-neon cores and that they may have descended f...
متن کاملFinding White Dwarfs with Transit Searches
We make predictions for the rate of discovery of eclipsing white dwarf–main sequence (WD–MS) binaries in terrestrial-planet transit searches, taking the planned Kepler and Eddington missions as examples. We use a population synthesis model to characterize the Galactic WD–MS population, and we find that, despite increased noise due to stellar variability compared with the typical planetary case,...
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...
