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 ...

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 ...

Fine Grid Asteroseismology Of G117-B15A And R548

Bischoff-Kim, Agnes; Montgomery, Michael H.; Winget, D. E. (2008-03)

We now have a good measurement of the cooling rate of G117-B15A. In the near future, we will have equally well determined cooling rates for other pulsating white dwarfs, including R548. The ability to measure their cooling ...

SDSS J184037.78+642312.3: the First Pulsating Extremely Low Mass White Dwarf

Hermes, J. J.; Montgomery, M. H.; Winget, D. E.; Brown, Warren R.; Kilic, Mukremin; Kenyon, Scott J. (2012-05)

We report the discovery of the first pulsating extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarf (WD), SDSS J184037.78+642312.3 (hereafter J1840). This DA (hydrogen-atmosphere) WD is by far the coolest and the lowest-mass pulsating WD, ...
