Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsating White Dwarf Stars and Precision Asteroseismology
TL;DR: In the 40 years since their discovery, pulsating white dwarf stars have moved from side-show curiosities to center stage as important tools for unraveling the deep mysteries of the Universe as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of white dwarf stars
Detlev Koester,G. Chanmugam +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the history of the discovery of white dwarfs and the realisation that their structure is determined by the physics of the degenerate electron gas, and show a complicated pattern dominated by diffusion processes and their interaction with accretion, convection and mass loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary and pulsational properties of white dwarf stars
Leandro Gabriel Althaus,Leandro Gabriel Althaus,Alejandro H. Córsico,Alejandro H. Córsico,Jordi Isern,Enrique García-Berro +5 more
TL;DR: A detailed review of the physics of white dwarfs can be found in this paper, with a focus on the physical processes that lead to the formation of the stars and the different energy sources responsible for chemical abundance changes that occur along their evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A lower limit of 9.5 Gyr on the age of the Galactic disk from the oldest white dwarf stars
TL;DR: In this article, a very deep survey of white dwarfs was carried out to obtain a minimum age for the local disk of the Milky Way of ∼9.5 Gyr.
