NDLI: The Luminosity Function and Evolution of Cool White Dwarfs

Content Provider	Scilit
Author	Liebert, James
Copyright Year	1979
Description	In the review, I attempt to focus on what we have recently learned from the observations about three general topics of great theoretical interest: 1. evidence for evolution of white dwarf surface abundances, 2. the special problems of determining atmospheric parameters and abundances at the cool end of the sequence, and 3. evidence for a peaking of the white dwarf luminosity function at $M_{bol}$ = + 15 ± 1, with possible implications for cooling theory and the history of galactic star formation.
