White dwarfs are a class of stars with unique physical properties. They present many
challenging problems whose solution requires advanced theories of dense matter, state-of …

The bright transient AT2018cow has been unlike any other known type of transient. Its high
brightness, rapid rise and decay, and initially nearly featureless spectrum are …

Ultramassive white dwarfs with masses probe extreme physics near the Chandrasekhar
limit. Despite the rapid increase in observations, it is still unclear how many harbour carbon …

ABSTRACT We employ the La Plata stellar evolution code, lpcode, to compute the first set of
constant rest-mass carbon–oxygen ultra-massive white dwarf evolutionary sequences for …

In this work, we investigate the equilibrium configurations of massive white dwarfs (MWD) in
the context of modified gravity, namely f (R, L m) gravity, where R stands for the Ricci scalar …

The existence of possible massive white dwarfs more than the Chandrasekhar limit (1.45
M⊙, in which M⊙ is mass of the sun) is a challenging topic. In this regard, and motivated by …

Context. Ultra-massive white dwarfs (M⋆≳ 1.05 M⊙) are of utmost importance in view of the
role they play in type Ia supernovae explosions, merger events, the existence of high …

We present a comprehensive review of all observations of the eclipsing recurrent Nova LMC
1968 in the Large Magellanic Cloud which was previously observed in eruption in 1968 …

We investigate the structure and stability against radial oscillations, pycnonuclear reactions,
and inverse β-decay of hot white dwarfs. We consider the fluid matter to be made up of …

The solutions for the Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation bring valuable
information about the macroscopical features of compact astrophysical objects as neutron …
