Course Description

Overview

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on the unified model for the evolution of cataclysmic variables presented by Arnab Sarkar from Cambridge. Delve into the latest research on white dwarf systems as part of the "White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into how astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic all-sky surveys provide an unbiased view of Galactic white dwarf populations. Discover the wide-ranging applications of white dwarf studies, including star and planet formation, Galactic star formation rates, and low-frequency gravitational wave sources. Examine the importance of improved models for electron-degenerate stars and the underlying physics involved. Understand how this conference brings together experts in observational and theoretical white dwarf studies, fundamental physics, and astronomers using white dwarfs as diagnostic tools to advance the field and explore new scientific opportunities arising from recent data.
