    • The impact of mergers in the white dwarf mass distribution 

      Catalan, Silvia; Isern, J.; Garcia-Berro, E.; Hernanz, M. (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010)
      The study of the white dwarf mass distribution gives a unique opportunity to obtain information about the amount of mass lost during stellar evolution. Spectroscopic observations of a large number of white dwarfs has allowed ...

    • Testing the relationship between the masses of white dwarfs and those of their progenitors 

      Isern, J.; Catalan, Silvia; Garcia-Berro, E.; Hernanz, M. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)
      The initial final mass relationship of white dwarfs is the function that relates the mass of the white dwarfs with the mass of their main sequence progenitors. At present this function is relatively poorly known from both ...
