Formation and Evolution of Close Magnetic White Dwarf Binaries - Diogo Belloni

Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore the formation and evolution of close magnetic white dwarf binaries in this 31-minute conference talk by Diogo Belloni. Delve into the latest research on these fascinating stellar remnants as part of the "White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics" online conference hosted by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into how astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic all-sky surveys provide a comprehensive view of the Galactic white dwarf population. Discover the wide-ranging applications of white dwarf studies, including their use as probes for star and planet formation, Galactic star formation rates, and as potential sources of low-frequency gravitational waves and progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae. Learn about the importance of improved models and input physics in understanding these electron-degenerate stars. Join experts in observational and theoretical white dwarf studies, fundamental physics, and astronomers as they explore the state-of-the-art research, identify current model limitations, and discuss new scientific opportunities arising from recent data.
