Model Atmosphere Analysis of Two Very Cool White Dwarfs

Model Atmosphere Analysis of Two Very Cool White Dwarfs

A detailed analysis of the very cool white dwarfs SDSS 1337+00 and LHS 3250 is presented. Model atmosphere calculations with improved collision-induced absorptions by molecular hydrogen indicate that a pure hydrogen composition can be ruled out and that the strong infrared absorption observed in these cool stars is better explained …
