The white dwarfs are promising laboratories for the study of cosmochronology and stellar evolution. Through observations of the pulsating white dwarfs, we can measure their internal structures and compositions, critical to understanding…
L19-2 is a DAV star, which has been intermittently observed from 1976 to 2013. Five independent pulsation modes of 350\,s, 192\,s, 143\,s, 118\,s, and 113\,s are identified. The five modes can be used to constrain the fitting models. The…
We present the results of the asteroseismological analysis of two rich DAVs, G38-29 and R808, recent targets of the Whole Earth Telescope. 20 periods between 413 s and 1089 s were found in G38-29's pulsation spectrum, while R808 is an even…
The DAV star, HS0507+0434B, was observed by Fu et al. (2013) in 2007 and from 2009 December to 2010 January. There were a total of six triplets with nearly equal split, which were identified as $l$ = 1 modes caused by rotation. In order to…
The DAV star R808 was observed by 13 different telescopes for more than 170 hours in April 2008 on the WET run XCOV26. 25 independent pulsation frequencies were identified by this data set. We assumed 19 $m$ = 0 modes and performed an…
We examine the potential of asteroseismology for exploring the internal rotation of white dwarf stars. Data from global observing campaigns have revealed a wealth of frequencies, some of which show the signature of rotational splitting.…
White dwarfs are the final stage for most low and intermediate mass stars, which plays an important role in understanding stellar evolution and galactic history. Here we performed an asteroseismological analysis on TIC 231277791 based on 10…
EC14012-1446 was observed by Handler et al. in April 2004, June 2004, May 2005, and April 2007, and by Provencal et al. in 2008. We review the observations together and obtain 34 independent frequencies. According to the frequency splitting…
Asteroseismology is a unique tool to explore the internal structure of stars through both observational and theoretical research. The internal structure of pulsating hydrogen shell white dwarfs (ZZ Ceti stars) detected by asteroseismology…
To date, pulsational variability has been measured from nearly 70 DBVs and 500 DAVs, with only a fraction of these having been the subjects of asteroseismic analysis. One way to approach white dwarf asteroseismology is forward modeling,…
We have used time-resolved spectroscopy to measure the colour dependence of pulsation amplitudes in the DAV white dwarf G 29-38. Model atmospheres predict that mode amplitudes should change with wavelength in a manner that depends on the…
Asteroseismology has emerged as the best way to characterize the global and internal properties of nearby stars. Often, this characterization is achieved by fitting stellar evolution models to asteroseismic observations. The star under…
Many pulsating low-mass white-dwarf stars have been detected in the last years in the field of our Galaxy. Given that some of them exhibit multiperiodic variation of brightness, it is possible to probe their interiors through…
White dwarfs, the final evolutionary stage of the vast majority of stars, serve as critical tools for cosmochronology, studies of planetary system evolution, and laboratories for non-standard physics, including exotic cooling channels and…
We present optical time series spectroscopy of the pulsating white dwarf star G29-38 taken at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). By measuring the variations in brightness, Doppler shift, and line shape of each spectrum, we explore the physics…
Hot subdwarf stars are particularly challenging for asteroseismology due to their rapid pulsation periods, intrinsic faintness and relative rarity both in the field and in clusters. These features have ensured that the preferred method of…
The internal structures of pulsating white dwarfs can be explored only with asteroseismology. Time series photometric observations were made for the pulsating DA white dwarf (ZZ Ceti star) WD~0246+326 during 9 nights in 2014 with a bi-site…
Asteroseismology is the study of the interior physics and structure of stars using their pulsations. It is applicable to stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram and a powerful technique to measure masses, radii and ages, but also…
As white-dwarf (WD) stars cool, they go through one or more stages of $g$(gravity)-mode pulsational instability, becoming multiperiodic variable stars. Stars passing through these instability domains allow astronomers to study their…
Asteroseismology is an unique and powerful tool to detect the internal structure of stars. CBS 114 is the sixth known pulsating DBV star. It was observed by Handler, Metcalfe, \& Wood at South African Astronomical Observatory over 3 weeks…
