Journal ArticleDOI
A Study of Metal Abundance Patterns in Cool White Dwarfs. II. Simulations of Accretion Episodes
TL;DR: In this paper, time-dependent simulations of episodic accretion of metals onto cool white dwarfs are presented, where the surface steady-state abundance of a metal directly scales on the assumed accretion rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of metal abundance patterns in cool white dwarfs. I: Time-dependent calculations of gravitational settling
TL;DR: In this article, the settling of Mg, Si, Ca, and Fe in models of white dwarfs is investigated in detail using finite element techniques based on finite-element techniques.
