Course Description

Overview

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on white dwarf pollution presented by Marc Brouwers from Cambridge at the White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics conference. Delve into the latest research on using white dwarfs as probes for various astrophysical phenomena, including stellar and planetary formation and evolution, Galactic star formation rates, and low-frequency gravitational wave sources. Examine the importance of improved models for electron-degenerate stars and the underlying physics required for their development. Gain insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by new observational data from all-sky surveys, and understand how this information is shaping our understanding of white dwarfs and their role in astrophysics.
