Abstract

We present the results of a Galactic model able to describe the observational behavior of the various stellar components in terms of suitable assumptions on their evolutionary status. The theoretical framework allow us to predict the expected distribution of the Galactic White Dwarfs (WDs) population. Results appear in rather good agreement with recent estimates of the local WD luminosity function.
