Seismology of Accreting White Dwarfs
Phil Arras (KITP) - Mar 7 at 12:00 noon
Pulsation modes have recently been observed in a
handful of white dwarf primaries of Cataclysmic Variables,
allowing an interesting new probe into the structure of
accreting white dwarfs. I will briefly discuss the
seismology of these objects, how stellar properties may be
inferred from the observed mode frequencies, and new work
on mode driving mechanisms.
The seminar will be held in 544 Campbell Hall.
