| Abstract: |
We present a summary of the properties of white dwarf stars, beginning
with a brief reminder of their basic characteristics. We continue with a
discussion of the spectral types, evolution, and other properties of
cooling white dwarfs, with an emphasis on the internal physics. We then
introduce the pulsating white dwarfs and provide an updated view of
their status. We finally discuss the impact (real and potential) of
asteroseismology on our knowledge of degenerate stars. |
