The White Dwarf Luminosity Function from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
The White Dwarf Luminosity Function from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
A sample of white dwarfs is selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 3 using their reduced proper motions, based on improved proper motions from combined SDSS and USNO-B data. Numerous SDSS and follow-up spectra (Kilic and coworkers) are used to quantify completeness and contamination of the …
