The presence of a strong magnetic field is a feature common to a significant fraction of
degenerate stars, yet little is understood about the field's origin and evolution. New …

Many stars evolve into magnetic white dwarfs (MWDs), and observations may help to
understand when the magnetic field appears at the stellar surface, if and how it evolves …

We present a spectroscopic survey of 248 white dwarf candidates within 40 pc of the Sun; of
these 244 are in the Southern hemisphere. Observations were performed mostly with the …

A complete accounting of nearby objects—from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors
down to low-mass brown dwarfs—is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of …

Recent models for evolved low-mass stars (with M≲ 3 M⊙), undergoing the asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) phase assume that magnetic flux-tube buoyancy drives the formation of 13 C …

We present a comprehensive overview of a volume-complete sample of white dwarfs
located within 40 pc of the Sun, a significant proportion of which were detected in Gaia Data …

ABSTRACT A new class of white dwarfs, dubbed DAHe, that present Zeeman-split Balmer
lines in emission has recently emerged. However, the physical origin of these emission lines …

The origin of strong () magnetic fields in white dwarfs has been a puzzle for decades.
Recently, a dynamo mechanism operating in rapidly rotating and crystallizing white dwarfs …

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are considered to be among the most significant
contributors to the fluorine budget in our Galaxy. While observations and theory agree at …

Magnitude-limited samples have shown that 20–25 per cent of cataclysmic variables contain
white dwarfs with magnetic fields of Mega Gauss strength, in stark contrast to the …
