Texas at Austin, USA. Quedan todos invitados a asisitr.

Title: White Dwarf Stars as Fundamental Astrophysical Laboratories

Abstract: White dwarf stars are the endpoint of stellar evolution of over 97% 
of all stars. Overall, their evolution is simpler than that of other stars, 
making them the ideal place to test various physical processes, such as 
neutrino emission, crystallization, phase separation, and convection. In 
addition, since their evolution is a cooling problem, their temperatures can be 
used to derive their ages, so they can be used to age-date different stellar 
populations. In this talk, I will highlight some of the work we and others have 
done and I will discuss directions for future work.

Cordiales saludos,
Alejandro.-
