A Status Report On A Planet Search Around White Dwarf Stars
(2010-08)
We have continued monitoring a pilot sample of 15 isolated, pulsating DA white dwarfs for center-of-mass motion caused by a planetary companion. Roughly 7 years into our survey, we have preliminary evidence for periodic ...
Creating White Dwarf Photospheres In The Laboratory
(2010-08)
We present a preliminary report from the laboratory astrophysics experiments to create macroscopic (similar to 19 cm(3)) hydrogen-plasmas with white dwarf (WD) photospheric conditions (i.e., temperature, electron density). ...
