The “Canonical” White Dwarf Cooling Sequence of M5

The “Canonical” White Dwarf Cooling Sequence of M5

Recently, slowly cooling white dwarfs (WDs) are a new class of WD that have been identified in two globular clusters (namely M13 and NGC 6752), showing a horizontal branch (HB) morphology with an extended blue tail. The cooling rate of these WDs is reduced by stable thermonuclear hydrogen burning in...
