PhD grant on "Monte Carlo population synthesis studies of the white dwarf
population in the Gaia era"
Deadline     Thu, 11/11/2021 - 14:00


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. Thanks to this recognition, we
have the opportunity to offer a PhD grant funded by Proyectos I+D
Generación de Conocimiento:

- White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes - The Physics of Compact
Stars.  Reference PID2020-117252GB-I00


*Context:*

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, JPLUS/JPAS 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.

Topics covered by our team are:

   - WDs mass distribution and luminosity function for thin and thick disk
   and halo population.
   - The cooling process of WDs
   - Star formation rate and disk age
   - Formation and evolution of binary systems
   - Spectral type identification of WDs
   -  WDs in globular clusters
   - Kinematics of the WD population
