The Cooling of CO White Dwarfs: Influence of the Internal Chemical Distribution

The Cooling of CO White Dwarfs: Influence of the Internal Chemical Distribution

In this paper we compute detailed evolutionary models providing chemical profiles for white dwarfs having progenitors in the mass range from 1.0 to $7 M_{\sun}$ and we examine the influence of such profiles in the cooling process. The influence of the process of separation of carbon and oxygen during crystallization …
