Periodic Light Variability in Twelve Carbon-rich Proto-Planetary Nebulae
We present the results of a long-term (14 year) photometric monitoring program of 12 carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs). PPNs are objects in the evolutionary transition between the AGB and pla...

Seismology of White Dwarfs: The ZZ Ceti Stars
We calculate an extensive adiabatic model grid for pulsating white dwarfs with H dominated atmospheres, the ZZ Ceti stars. We developed a new approach for asteroseismology, using the relative observed...

In this review I describe the basic properties of white dwarfs and their pulsations. I then discuss some of the areas in which the pulsations can provide meaningful results, such as internal chemical profiles, possible emission of “exotic” particles, planet detection, crystallization, convection, accretion, and cosmochronology. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
