We address the problem that dynamical masses of high-redshift massive galaxies, derived using virial scaling, often come out lower than stellar masses inferred...
White dwarf post common envelope binaries from the SDSS
Post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf and a main sequence star are ideal systems to calibrate current theories of angular momentum...
White Dwarf Stars in the HET Dark Energy Experiment
In this poster, we present the project that will survey all white dwarf stars observed in the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) and the...
White Dwarfs in Close Binaries: A Systematic Search for Mass Transfer Systems and Supernova Ia Progenitors
White dwarfs are the evolutionary end point of the vast majority of stars (97 per cent),where a large fraction of systems, around 25 per cent, are close enough...
White Dwarfs in Close Binaries: A Systematic Search for Mass-transfer Systems and Supernova Ia Progenitors in the APOGEE Survey
We have created a new and unique database, the APOGEE-Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX)-Gaia catalog, to study white dwarfs in close binaries, and, in...
We present accurate and deep multiband B,R,Hα data for the globular cluster ω Cen collected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on HST. The photometric...
Why are Massive O-rich AGB Stars in our Galaxy not S-stars?
We present the main results derived from a chemical analysis carried out on a large sample of galactic O-rich AGB stars using high resolution optical...
