New halo white dwarf candidates in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
New halo white dwarf candidates in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We present optical spectroscopy and near-infrared photometry of 57 faint (g = 19–22) high proper motion white dwarfs identified through repeat imaging of ≈3100 deg2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey footprint by Munn et al. We use ugriz and JH photometry to perform a model atmosphere analysis, and identify …
