SUMMARY:White Dwarfs from Physics to Astrophysics
DESCRIPTION:\nNov 14, 2022 – Nov 17, 2022\n\nRegister ( https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/herald/activities/whitedwarfs-c22/registration/new )\n\nRegistration deadline is:Oct 16, 2022.Registration includes:Daily refreshment breaks, lunches and two Special Events Dinners.Registration Fee: $330Fee Due: Oct 16, 2022Late Registration Fee: $380Conference begins (with registration):Nov 14, 2022 at 08:50 am\n \n\n\nCoordinators: Ken Shen and Alejandra Romero\n\n\nAstrometric, photometric and spectroscopic all-sky surveys provide the first complete, unbiased view of the Galactic population of the most abundant type of stellar remnants: white dwarfs. This wealth of observational data provides an array of opportunities to use white dwarfs as probes of a wide range of astrophysics, including the formation and evolution of stars and planets, the star formation rate of the Galaxy, and the populations of low-frequency gravitational wave sources and progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae. These applications require improved models of these electron-degenerate stars, which in turn rely on developments in the relevant input physics, including equations of state and opacities. This conference will provide a joint platform for experts in the observational and theoretical study of white dwarfs, scientists working on the underlying fundamental physics, and astronomers using white dwarfs as diagnostic tools to gain a panoramic overview of the state-of-the-art, to identify remaining limitations of the current models, and to explore novel scientific opportunities arising from the new data.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
