Course Description

Overview

Explore a conference talk on surviving runaway stellar remnants from thermonuclear supernovae presented by Roberto Raddi from Barcelona Tech. Delve into the latest research on white dwarfs, the most abundant type of stellar remnants in our galaxy, as part of the "White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics" conference. Discover how astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic all-sky surveys provide a comprehensive view of the Galactic white dwarf population. Learn about the wide-ranging applications of white dwarf studies, including probing star and planet formation, determining galactic star formation rates, and investigating low-frequency gravitational wave sources. Gain insights into the challenges of improving white dwarf models and the importance of advanced input physics, such as equations of state and opacities. Understand how this research contributes to our knowledge of stellar evolution, supernovae progenitors, and fundamental astrophysics.
