Measuring the Mass–Radius Relation of White Dwarfs Using Wide Binaries

Measuring the Mass–Radius Relation of White Dwarfs Using Wide Binaries

Measuring the mass–radius relation of individual white dwarfs is an empirically challenging task that has been performed for only a few dozen stars. We measure the white dwarf mass–radius relation using the gravitational redshifts and radii of 135 white dwarfs in wide binaries with main-sequence com...
