The Effect of Crystallization on the Pulsations of White Dwarf Stars
We consider the pulsational properties of white dwarf star models with temperatures appropriate for the ZZ Ceti instability strip and with masses large enough that they should be substantially crystallized. Our work is motivated by the existence of a potentially crystallized DA variable (DAV), BPM 37093, and the expectation that …
