Discovery Of Pulsations, Including Possible Pressure Modes, In Two New Extremely Low Mass, He-Core White Dwarfs

Hermes, J. J.; Montgomery, Michael H.; Winget, D. E.; Brown, Warren R.; Gianninas, A.; Kilic, Mukremin; Kenyon, S. J.; Bell, Keaton J.; Harrold, Samuel T. (2013-03)

We report the discovery of the second and third pulsating extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarfs (WDs), SDSS J111215.82+111745.0 (hereafter J1112) and SDSS J151826.68+065813.2 (hereafter J1518). Both have masses < 0.25 ...

Radius Constraints From High-Speed Photometry Of 20 Low-Mass White Dwarf Binaries

Hermes, J. J.; Brown, Warren R.; Kilic, Mukremin; Gianninas, A.; Chote, Paul; Sullivan, Denis J.; Winget, D. E.; Bell, Keaton J.; Falcon, Ross E.; Winget, K. I.; Mason, Paul A.; Harrold, Samuel T.; Montgomery, Michael H. (2014-09)

We carry out high-speed photometry on 20 of the shortest-period, detached white dwarf binaries known and discover systems with eclipses, ellipsoidal variations (due to tidal deformations of the visible white dwarf), and ...

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 ...
