    White dwarf planets by Bonsor Amy, Veras Dimitri, Villaver Eva, Mustill Alexander J., Wyatt Mark C.

    Published 2013-04-01
    “…The recognition that planets may survive the late stages of stellar evolution, and the prospects for finding them around White Dwarfs, are growing. We discuss two aspects governing planetary survival through stellar evolution to the White Dwarf stage. …”

    Pulsating white dwarfs by Kepler S.O., Romero Alejandra D.

    Published 2017-01-01
    “…The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has allowed us to increase the number of known white dwarfs by a factor of five and consequently the number of known pulsating white dwarfs also by a factor of five. …”

    Accretion on to Magnetic White Dwarfs by Wickramasinghe Dayal

    Published 2014-01-01
    “…The Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (MCVs) are close interacting binaries where mass is transferred from a late type secondary star to a magnetic white dwarf. Two modes of accretion can be identified depending on the strength of the magnetic field, the mass transfer rate and orbital parameters. …”

    MAGNETISM OF WHITE DWARFS (intermediate results of a survey for kilogauss magnetic fields in white dwarfs) by G. Valyavin, S. Bagnulo, S. Fabrika, A. Reisenegger, G. A. Wade, Inwoo Han, D. Monin

    Published 2017-04-01
    “…We shortly present intermidiate results of a survey for weak magnetic fields among degenerate stars (white dwarfs and hot subdwarf stars). Kilogauss upper limits of longitudinal magnetic fields are presented for several brightest DA white dwarfs and new candidates to magnetic degenerates are found. …”

    Pulsations in white dwarfs: Selected topics by Saio H.

    Published 2013-03-01
    “…This paper presents a very brief overview of the observed properties of g-mode pulsations in variable white dwarfs. We then discuss a few selected topics: Excitation mechanisms (kappa- and convection- mechanisms), and briefly the effect of a strong magnetic field (∼ 1 MG) on g-modes as recently found in a hot DQ (carbon-rich atmosphere) white dwarf. …”

    White dwarf cooling sequences and cosmochronology by García-Berro E., Artigas A., Isern J.

    Published 2013-03-01
    “…The evolution of white dwarfs is a simple gravothermal process. This means that their luminosity function, i.e. the number of white dwarfs per unit bolometric magnitude and unit volume as a function of bolometric magnitude, is a monotonically increasing function that decreases abruptly as a consequence of the finite age of the Galaxy. …”

    The binarity of the local white dwarf population by Toonen, S, Hollands, M, Gänsicke, BT, Boekholt, T

    Published 2017
    “…</strong> As endpoints of stellar evolution, white dwarfs (WDs) are powerful tools to study the evolutionary history of the Galaxy. …”

    The accretion of solar material onto white dwarfs: No mixing with core material implies that the mass of the white dwarf is increasing by Sumner Starrfield

    Published 2014-02-01
    “…Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) are close binary star systems with one component a white dwarf (WD) and the other a larger cooler star that fills its Roche Lobe. …”
