Abstract: We present a theoretical assessment of the expected temporal rates of change of periods ($\dot{\Pi}$) for low-mass ($M_{\star}/M_{\sun} \lesssim 0.45$) and extremely low-mass (ELM, $M_{\star}/M_{\sun} \lesssim 0.18-0.20$) white-dwarf stars, based on fully evolutionary low-mass He-core… read more here.
