Abstract

The astrophysical process of accretion onto compact central objects is ubiquitous across the universe. The study of white dwarf stars has greatly expanded in recent years, and this book presents, from first principles, the physics of the accretion process onto white dwarfs. Among the resulting phenomena are isolated white dwarfs accreting interstellar gas and dust as they orbit the galactic center, white dwarfs accreting from the debris disks of tidally disrupted asteroids, comets and exoplanets in other exoplanetary systems, white dwarfs accreting from red giant winds in symbiotic variable stars, white dwarfs accreting from Roche lobe-detached main sequence stars, white dwarfs accreting in cataclysmic variables, helium accreting white dwarfs in the ultra-compact AM CVn binaries, accreting white dwarf explosions in classical novae and Type Ia supernovae, the cosmologically critical white dwarf supernovae that led to the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe and the existence of dark energy. This book is intended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, astrophysicists who specialize in white dwarf studies as well as non-specialist scientists.

Abstract

In this work, the emphasis will be placed on the understating of the theory needed to try
to describe correctly the interaction between convection and pulsation. We will shed light on
important terms appearing due to turbulent flows and see how we can describe them. Hence,
we will present more evolved models that should reproduce the reality with a better fidelity.
Finally, to illustrate and compare the different possible models introduced previously, we will
study a well-known type of variable stars: the ZZ Ceti white dwarfs. These dying stars are
known for their extremely thin but efficient convection envelope (as most white dwarfs) and
for their instability strip for which better predictions are still needed in order to match the
observations. Dans ce travail, l'emphase sera mise sur la compréhension de la théorie nécessaire pour décrire correctement l’interaction entre la convection et les pulsations. Nous mettrons en évidence l'apparition de termes importants supplémentaires provenant des écoulements turbulents et nous verrons comment ils peuvent être décrits. De plus, nous présenterons des modèles plus évolués censés reproduire la réalité avec une meilleure fidélité. Finalement, pour illustrer et comparer les différents modèles que nous auront préalablement introduits, nous étudierons un type d'étoiles variables bien connu : les naines blanches ZZ Ceti. Ces étoiles en fin de vie sont connues pour leur enveloppe convective fine mais très importante et surtout pour leur bande d'instabilité pour laquelle de meilleures prédictions sont toujours nécessaires afin de reproduire les observations.

Abstract

This self-contained introduction to compact star physics explains important concepts from areas such as general relativity, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and nuclear physics. Containing many tested exercises, and written by an international expert in the research field, the book provides important insights on the basic concepts of compact stars, discusses white dwarfs, neutron stars, quark stars and exotic compact stars. Included are sections on astrophysical observations of compact stars, and present and future terrestrial experiments related to compact stars physics, as the study of exotic nuclei and relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Major developments in the field such as the discovery of massive neutron stars, and a discussion of the recent gravitational wave measurement of a neutron star merger are also presented. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers working on the physics of compact stars, general relativity and nuclear physics.
