| Abstract: |
We present preliminary results of detailed Monte Carlo simulations of
the population of white dwarf-main
sequence binary systems in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data
Release 7 (SDSS DR7). We have used the most up-to-date stellar
evolutionary models, a complete treatment of the Roche lobe overflow
episode, as well as a full implementation of the orbital evolution of
the binary system. Moreover, we included the different selection
criteria and observational biases within SDSS and examined the role played by the
binding energy parameter and by the common envelope efficiency. Our
Monte Carlo simulator correctly reproduces the properties of the
observed distribution of white dwarf plus main sequence binary systems. |
