| Abstract: |
A few years after publishing the observed hot white dwarf luminosity
function, the problem of the plateau in the DA luminosity function was solved.
The apparent cause of the plateau was the presence of a population of low mass
white dwarfs in the white dwarf sample used for calculations. In this work
we present the observed hot DA and non-DA luminotity
functions calculated after excluding white dwarfs with masses below
0.49 M☉, as well as the non-DA to DA WD ratio. |
