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 ...

Enigmatic Recurrent Pulsational Variability Of The Accreting White Dwarf EQ LYN (Sdss J074531.92+453829.6)

Mukadam, Adam S.; Townsley, D. M.; Szkody, Paula; Gaansicke, B. T.; Southworth, J.; Brockett, T.; Parsons, S.; Hermes, J. J.; Montgomery, M. H.; Winget, D. E.; Harrold, S.; Tovmassian, G.; Zharikov, S.; Drake, A. J.; Henden, A.; Rodriguez-Gil, P.; Sion, E. M.; Zola, S.; Szymanski, T.; Pavlenko, E.; Aungwerojwit, A.; Qian, S. B. (2013-09)

Photometric observations of the cataclysmic variable EQ Lyn (SDSS J074531.92+453829.6), acquired from 2005 October to 2006 January, revealed high-amplitude variability in the range 1166-1290 s. This accreting white dwarf ...

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 ...

Discovery of A ZZ Ceti in the Kepler Mission Field

Hermes, J. J.; Mullally, Fergal; Ostensen, R. H.; Williams, Kurtis A.; Telting, John; Southworth, John; Bloemen, S.; Howell, Steve B.; Everett, Mark; Winget, D. E. (2011-11)

We report the discovery of the first identified pulsating DA white dwarf, WD J1916+3938 (Kepler ID 4552982), in the field of the Kepler mission. This ZZ Ceti star was first identified through ground-based, time-series ...
