The puzzling white dwarf cooling sequence in NGC 6791: a simple solution.

BEDIN L.R., SALARIS M., PIOTTO G., CASSISI S., MILONE A.P., ANDERSON J. and KING I.R.

Abstract (from CDS):

In this Letter we demonstrate that the puzzling bright peak in the luminosity function of the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence of NGC 6791 can be naturally accounted for if ∼34% of the observed WDs are WD+WD binary systems.
