S. Torres, E. García-Berro, J. Krzesinski, S. J. Kleinman

摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的蒙特卡罗模拟人口的热分支的白矮星光度函数。我们使用了最新的恒星演化模型,并对观测选择偏差进行了完整的描述。我们的理论结果进行了比较,从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)获得的热白矮星的光度函数,无论是DA和非DA的白矮星。对于非DA的白矮星,我们发现一个很好的协议与观测数据,而对于DA的白矮星,我们的模拟显示出一些差异与观测的最亮的光度箱,那些对应于L>= 10 L_太阳。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the population of the hot branch of the white dwarf luminosity function. We used the most up-to-date stellar evolutionary models and we implemented a full description of the observational selection biases. Our theoretical results are compared with the luminosity function of hot white dwarfs obtained from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), for both DA and non-DA white dwarfs. For non-DA white dwarfs we find an excellent agreement with the observational data, while for DA white dwarfs our simulations show some discrepancies with the observations for the brightest luminosity bins, those corresponding to L>= 10 L_sun.
