Abstract
Hunting for white dwarfs in eROSITA surveys 1-4 with special processing. The Gaia color-magnitude diagram shows all white dwarf candidates from the Gaia white dwarf catalogue (Gentile Fusillo et al. 2021), colour-coded with the probability of being a white dwarf. Black circles mark sources in the ROSAT white dwarf catalogue (Fleming et al. 1996) that match entries in the Gaia white dwarf catalogue (light blue crosses indicate those in the German half of the eROSITA sky). Orange crosses mark eROSITA sources with a hardness ratio of ≤ −0.94 and with counterparts in the Gaia white dwarf catalogue. Those highlighted with a dark green circle have a probability larger than 90 % of being a white dwarf in that catalogue. The cooling tracks of white dwarfs with masses between 0.4 and 1.2 solar masses are shown as gray lines in steps of 0.1 solar masses (top to bottom). For more details see the related paper by S. Friedrich et al. published in this issue e240139.
期刊介绍:
Astronomische Nachrichten, founded in 1821 by H. C. Schumacher, is the oldest astronomical journal worldwide still being published. Famous astronomical discoveries and important papers on astronomy and astrophysics published in more than 300 volumes of the journal give an outstanding representation of the progress of astronomical research over the last 180 years. Today, Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten publishes articles in the field of observational and theoretical astrophysics and related topics in solar-system and solar physics. Additional, papers on astronomical instrumentation ground-based and space-based as well as papers about numerical astrophysical techniques and supercomputer modelling are covered. Papers can be completed by short video sequences in the electronic version. Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten also publishes special issues of meeting proceedings.
