Mukadam, Anjum S.; Bischoff-Kim, Agnes; Fraser, Oliver; Corsico, A. H.; Montgomery, Michael H.; Kepler, S. O.; Romero, A. D.; Winget, D. E.; Hermes, J. J.; Riecken, T. S.; Kronberg, M. E.; Winget, K. I.; Falcon, Ross E.; Chandler, Dean W.; Kuehne, J. W.; Sullivan, Denis J.; Reaves, D.; von Hippel, Ted; Mullally, Fergal; Shipman, H.; Thompson, Susan E.; Silvestri, N. M.; Hynes, Robert I. (2013-07)

We have finally measured the evolutionary rate of cooling of the pulsating hydrogen atmosphere (DA) white dwarf ZZ Ceti (Ross 548), as reflected by the drift rate of the 213.13260694 s period. Using 41 yr of time-series ...

Photometric Variability In A Warm, Strongly Magnetic Dq White Dwarf, SDSS J103655.39+652252.2

Williams, Kurtis A.; Winget, D. E.; Montgomery, Michael H.; Dufour, Patrick; Kepler, S. O.; Hermes, J. J.; Falcon, Ross E.; Winget, K. I.; Bolte, Michael; Rubin, Kate H. R.; Liebert, James (2013-06)

We present the discovery of photometric variability in the DQ white dwarf SDSS J103655.39+652252.2 (SDSS J1036+6522). Time-series photometry reveals a coherent monoperiodic modulation at a period of 1115.64751(67) s with ...

Discovery of an Ultramassive Pulsating White Dwarf

Hermes, J. J.; Kepler, S. O.; Castanheira, Barbara G.; Gianninas, A.; Winget, D. E.; Montgomery, M. H.; Brown, Warren R.; Harrold, Samuel T. (2013-07)

We announce the discovery of the most massive pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf (WD) ever discovered, GD 518. Model atmosphere fits to the optical spectrum of this star show it is a 12,030 +/- 210 K WD with a log ...

Seismology Of A Massive Pulsating Hydrogen Atmosphere White Dwarf

Kepler, S. O.; Pelisoli, Ingrid; Pecanha, Viviane; Costa, J. E. S.; Fraga, Luciano; Hermes, J. J.; Winget, D. E.; Castanheira, Barbara; Corsico, A. H.; Romero, A. D.; Althaus, Leandro; Kleinman, S. J.; Nitta, Atsuko; Koester, Detlev; Kulebi, Baybars; Jordan, Stefan; Kanaan, Antonio (2012-10)

We report our observations of the new pulsating hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf SDSS J132350.28+010304.22. We discovered periodic photometric variations in frequency and amplitude that are commensurate with nonradial g-mode ...
