<p class="MsoNormal"><a class="gmail_plusreply"><span lang="EN-US">The
Astronomy and Astrophysics Group (GAA) at UPC (BarcelonaTech;
Spain) has a long track record in the study of the last stages
of stellar evolution, and in particular, in the study of white
dwarfs, isolated or as members of close stellar binary
systems. </span></a><span lang="EN-US">Thanks to this
recognition, we have the opportunity to offer a PhD grant funded

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">Context:</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">White dwarfs (WDs)
constitute the most common final evolutionary state of stellar
evolution, and as such, they are of fundamental importance in
the understanding of the Universe. However, these studies
require accurate observational inputs to test the theoretical
models. The advent of large-scale data base surveys such as
SDSS, LAMOST, </span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">JPLUS/JPAS
</span> and, especially, the ESA Gaia mission have provided an
unprecedented wealth of information. The population synthesis
models developed by GAA members have been consolidated as an
international reference frame to test and compare different
theoretical approaches with respect to observed data. In
particular, we would be able to analyze, with an unprecedented
accuracy, several of the most important parameters of our
Galaxy, related to the evolution of binary stars, double
degenerate systems, white dwarf plus main sequence systems, or
eventually, CV-stars, novae and supernovae precursors and other
compact objects.<br>
