Discovery of kilogauss magnetic fields in three DA white dwarfs
(2004)
We have detected longitudinal magnetic fields between 2 and 4 kG in three (WD0446−790, WD1105−048, WD2359−434) out of a sample of 12 normal DA white dwarfs by using optical spectropolarimetry done with the VLT Antu 8 m ...
A population model of the solar neighbourhood thin disc white dwarfs
(2004)
We present a model of the solar neighbourhood (d < 100 pc) white dwarf (WD) population and show the resulting effective temperature and mass distribution. Our model parameters, in particular the WD cooling time-scale, are ...
