Course Description

Overview

Explore the fascinating world of white dwarf pulsations in this conference talk from the White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics conference. Delve into how these stellar remnants serve as powerful tools for understanding various aspects of astrophysics, including star and planet formation, galactic star formation rates, and potential sources of gravitational waves. Learn about the latest observational data from all-sky surveys and how it provides unprecedented insights into the Galactic white dwarf population. Discover the importance of improved models and input physics in interpreting this wealth of data. Gain a comprehensive overview of current research, identify challenges in existing models, and explore new scientific opportunities arising from recent observations. This talk by JJ Hermes from Boston University offers a unique perspective on using white dwarf pulsations to conduct stellar autopsies and advance our understanding of stellar evolution and galactic history.
