Analysis of ultraviolet and extreme-ultraviolet spectra of the DA white dwarf G191-B2B using self-consistent diffusion models.

DREIZLER S. and WOLFF B.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present a multi-wavelength spectral analysis of the DA white dwarf G191-B2B. The employed atmospheric models account for gravitational settling and radiative levitation, which are, for the first time, calculated self-consistently with the atmospheric structure. The resulting spectra can reproduce the complete EUVE spectrum and the ultraviolet lines of iron. Some restrictions regarding the UV lines of other elements (C, N, O, Ni), however, still remain. In contrast to homogeneous models, it is not necessary to introduce additional photospheric or interstellar absorbers to account for the high opacity at λ≲230Å. Abundance profile changing mechanisms, like mass-loss or accretion, are also not needed.
