Lessons for Asteroseismology from White Dwarf Stars
The interpretation of pulsation data for Sun-like stars is currently facing challenges quite similar to those faced by white dwarf modelers ten years ago. The observational requirements for uninterrupted long-term monitoring are beginning to be satisfied by successful multi-site campaigns and dedicated satellite missions. But exploration of the most important physical parameters in theoretical ...
متن کاملWhite Dwarf Asteroseismology and the 12c(α,γ)16o Rate
Due to a new global analysis method, it is now possible to measure the internal composition of pulsating white dwarf stars, even with relatively simple theoretical models. The precise internal mixture of carbon and oxygen is the largest single source of uncertainty in ages derived from white dwarf cosmochronometry, and contains information about the rate of the astrophysically important, but ex...
متن کاملPulsations in carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs: A new chapter in white dwarf asteroseismology
We present some of the results of a survey aimed at exploring the asteroseismological potential of the newly-discovered carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs. We show that, in certains regions of parameter space, carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs may drive loworder gravity modes. We demonstrate that our theoretical results are consistent with the recent exciting discovery of luminosity variations in SDSS...
متن کاملTime dependent diffusion in pulsating white dwarf stars: Asteroseismology of G117-B15A
We study the structural characteristic of the variable DA white dwarf G117B-15A by applying the methods of asteroseismology. For such a purpose, we construct white dwarf evolutionary models considering a detailed and up to date physical description as well as several processes responsible for the occurrence of element diffusion. We have considered several thickness for the outermost hydrogen la...
متن کامل0 PG 2131 + 066 : A Test of Pre - White Dwarf Asteroseismology
PG 2131+066 is a composite–spectrum binary with a hot pulsating PG 1159-type pre–white dwarf and an early M-type main sequence star. Analysis of Whole Earth Telescope observations of the pulsating pre-white dwarf component provided an asteroseismological determination of its mass, luminosity, and effective temperature. These determinations allowed Kawaler et al. (1995) to determine the distance...
