The Question
(Submitted October 28, 1997)
Could you recommend an Internet site for the most current information
on white dwarfs?
The Answer
There we (we think) a good general discussion of white dwarfs on
our Imagine the Universe site, at
http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l2/dwarfs.html
Other sites:
http://www.astrophysik.uni-kiel.de/arbeitsgruppen/agkoe/h-jordan-wz.html
This Web site contains a science time line with relation to White Dwarfs,
Neutron Stars, and Supernovae. For students in middle school and above.
http://www.exhibits.lsa.umich.edu/Virtual.Museum/Planetarium/Teske/Feb97/WhiteDwarf.html
This has a good general description of the observations and the evolution
of white dwarfs. It was produced by the Information Services Department
of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, and is for students in middle school
and above.
Unless you have a more specific question, we think this is a good
place to start.
