The Physics of Crystallization from Globular Cluster White Dwarf Stars in NGC 6397

Winget, D. E.; Kepler, S. O.; Campos, Fabiola; Montgomery, M. H.; Girardi, Leo; Bergeron, P.; Williams, Kurtis (2009-03)

We explore the physics of crystallization in the deep interiors of white dwarf (WD) stars using the color-magnitude diagram and luminosity function constructed from proper- motion cleaned Hubble Space Telescope photometry ...

White Dwarfs In Ngc6397 And M4: Constraints On The Physics Of Crystallization

Winget, D. E.; Montgomery, M. H.; Kepler, S. O.; Campos, F.; Bergeron, P. (2010-08)

We explore the physics of crystallization in the dense Coulomb plasma of the deep interiors of white dwarf stars using the color-magnitude diagram and luminosity function constructed from Hubble Space Telescope photometry ...

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 ...

Context. PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T-eff similar or equal to 140000 K, is the prototype of both two classes: the PG 1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Previous studies of PG 1159-035 photometric ...
