Detection of the Temperature Dependence of the White Dwarf Mass–Radius Relation with Gravitational Redshifts

Detection of the Temperature Dependence of the White Dwarf Mass–Radius Relation with Gravitational Redshifts

Models predict that the well-studied mass–radius relation of white dwarf stars depends on the temperature of the star, with hotter white dwarfs having larger masses at a given radius than cooler stars. In this paper, we use a catalog of 26,041 DA white dwarfs observed in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Dat...
