Abstract: In this work we investigate the structure of white dwarfs using the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equations and compare our results with those obtained from Newtonian equations of gravitation in order to put in evidence the importance of… read more here.

Abstract: Recently, Cheng et al. identified a number of massive white dwarfs (WD) that appear to have an additional heat source providing a luminosity near $\approx 10^{-3}L_\odot$ for multiple Gyr. In this paper we explore heating… read more here.
