The standard lower limit for the mass of white dwarfs (WDs) with a C/O core is roughly 0.5 Modot. In the present work we investigate the possibility to form C/O WDs with mass as low as 0.33 Modot. Both the pre-WD and the cooling evolution of such nonstandard models are described.

Abstract
The standard lower limit for the mass of white dwarfs (WDs) with a C/O core is roughly 0.5 Modot. In the present work we investigate the possibility to form C/O WDs with mass as low as 0.33 Modot. Both the pre-WD and the cooling evolution of such nonstandard models are described.File in questo prodotto:
