White dwarf stars in modified gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A few questions related to white dwarfs' physics is posed. It seems that the modified gravity framework can be a good starting point provide alternative explanations cooling processes, their age determination, and Chandrasekhar mass limits. Moreover, we have also obtained limit coming from Palatini $f(\mathcal{R})$ provided by simple Lane-Emden model.

White Dwarf Critical Tests for Modified Gravity.
Scalar-tensor theories of gravity can lead to modifications of the gravitational force inside astrophysical objects. We exhibit that compact stars such as white dwarfs provide a unique setup to test beyond Horndeski theories of G^{3} type. We obtain stringent and independent constraints on the parameter ϒ characterizing the deviations from Newtonian gravity using the mass-radius relation, the C...
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 کاملWhite dwarf stars in D dimensions
We determine the mass-radius relation of relativistic white dwarf stars (a self-gravitating degenerate Fermi gas at T = 0) in a D-dimensional universe and study the influence of the dimension of space on the laws of physics when we combine quantum mechanics, special relativity and gravity. We exhibit characteristic dimensions D = 1, D = 2, D = 3, D = 1 2 (3+ √ 17), D = 4, D = 2(1+ √ 2) and show...
متن کاملRotation velocities of white dwarf stars ?
The narrow Hα line cores observed with the Keck high resolution spectrograph of thirteen hydrogen-rich (DA) white dwarfs are analysed using line blanketed Non-LTE model atmospheres. The synthetic line profiles reproduce the observed line cores very well. Hence no evidence for additional line broadening due to rotation or to magnetic fields can be found. Statistical upper limits to the projected...
متن کاملHydrogen model atmospheres for white dwarf stars
We present a detailed calculation of model atmospheres for DA white dwarfs. Our atmosphere code solves the atmosphere structure in local thermodynamic equilibrium with a standard partial linearization technique, which takes into account the energy transfer by radiation and convection. This code incorporates recent improved and extended data base of collision induced absorption by molecular hydr...
