A white dwarf , also called a degenerate dwarf , is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its v...

A Type Ia supernova is a sub-category of cataclysmic variable stars that results from the violent explosion of a white dwarf star. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star that has completed its norma...

A typical white dwarf is half as massive as the Sun, yet only slightly bigger than the Earth. This makes white dwarfs one of the densest forms of matter, ... It begin when the evolution of a Brown Dwarf begins with its formation in a fragment of a giant molecular cabout 1013 centimeters (or 10-5 light-years). Within the first...

The range of final masses has been from 0.01961 to 0.34351 Msolar and periods from 39 min to 187 d. 26 out of the 40 considered systems give rise to the formation of a He WD as a compact remnant.

We investigate the formation of the ten double-lined double white dwarfs that have been observed so far. A detailed stellar evolution code is used to calculate grids of single-star and binary models and we use these to reconstruct possible evolutionary scenarios.

8, the evolutionary track leading to He-white dwarf formation differs from the tracks leading to CO- and O-Ne-white dwarfs formation in that it does not contain a nondegenerate helium star phase.

White dwarfs are among the dimmest stars in the universe. Even so, they have commanded the attention of astronomers ever since the first white dwarf was observed by optical telescopes in the middle of the 19th century.

Their project will also lead to improvements in understanding of the evolution and luminosity function of white dwarfs. ... New observations at the University of Arizona's and the University of Texas' observatories, as well as use of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, will yield more than 2400 new white dwarfs, a sample unbiased...
