TL;DR: In this article, the results of high speed photo-metric observations of the cool variable DA white dwarf (DAV) GD 154 obtained with the Whole Earth Telescope were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The internal structure of ZZ Cet stars using quantitative asteroseismology: The case of R548
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore quantitatively the low but sufficient sensitivity of oscillation modes to probe both the core composition and the details of the chemical stratification of pulsating white dwarfs.
Multisite Multicolour Photometric Observations of the Nonradially Pulsating SdB Star Balloon 090100001: A White Light Frequency Analysis
C. Pereira,C. S. Jeffery,Gilles Fontaine,Stéphane Charpinet,Conny Aerts,A. Ahmad,E. Connolly,Maja Vučković,V. S. Dhillon,T. R. Marsh +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results from a multisite observational campaign of Balloon 090100001 were obtained on seven consecutive nights from 2005 August 10-16 using four telescopes: the Faulkes Telescope North, the Himalayan Chandra Telescope, the William Herhel Telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.

Temperatures for Hot and Pulsating Helium-Rich (DB) White Dwarfs Obtained with the IUE Observatory
J. W. Liebert,F. Wesemael,Carl J. Hansen,Gilles Fontaine,Harry L. Shipman,Edward M. Sion,Don Winget,Richard F. Green +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, ultraviolet energy distributions are analyzed for several hot, helium-atmosphere DB white dwarfs, including the four known pulsating stars which define an empirical DB instability strip.
