AbstractHigh quality optical spectra of 120 white dwarfs have been obtained to search for double degenerate systems, some of which might become type I supernovae. No systems with high amplitude velocity variations have been found. However several exceptionally cool DA white dwarfs have been found to show weak Helium absorption lines, and four stars have split H-alpha line cores indicative of binary systems.

To understand the origin and evolution of starburst activity, we must study the full evolution of starburst; i.e., pre-, on-going, and post-starburst phases. It seems reasonable to suppose the numerous A-type stars indicate past starburst and they show strong Balmer absorption. NGC7331, nearby early-type spiral galaxy, is one of the poststarburst galaxies which show strong Balmer absorption. The optical spectra of NGC7331 were dominated by component of intermediate-age (5 × 109 years) stellar populations (Ohyama & Taniguchi 1996). We present the result of the high resolution CO observations of NGC7331 using Nobeyama Milimeter Array.

IRAS 17423-1755 is a new transition object between the post-AGB phase and the planetary nebula (PN) stage included in an observational program of IRAS sources with infrared colours similar to those of PNe. We have taken B, V, R, I, Z, Hα and [OIII] CCD images at the 1m JKT (Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma), where a clearly marked bipolar structure with a total extension of about 10″ can be seen, and long slit (low and high resolution) optical spectra at the 4.2m WHT, 2.5m INT (RM, La Palma) and ESO 1.5m (La Silla) telescopes.

First reported at the IAU Colloquium No. 53 on White Dwarfs (McGraw et al. 1979), PG 1159-035 (GW Vir) is the prototype of a new class of very hot, pulsating, pre-white dwarf stars. It shows complicated, nonradial pulsation modes which have been studied exhaustively, both observationally and theoretically. The effective temperature has been crudely estimated as 100,000 K with log g ~ 7 (Wesemael, Green and Liebert 1985, hereafter WGL).

A high-resolution IUE spectral atlas of central stars of planetary nebulae and hot white dwarfs has been produced (part of Tweedy, 1991, PhD thesis from the University of Leicester, UK), and examples from it are shown here. It has been sorted into an approximate evolutionary sequence, based on published spectroscopic analyses, from the cool 28,000K young central star He 2–138, through the hot objects like NGC 7293 and NGC 246 at 90,000K and 130,000K respectively, down to 40,000K DA white dwarfs like GD 2, which is the chosen cutoff for this selection. Copies of a revised version of this atlas, which will include more recent spectroscopic information and also white dwarfs down to 35,000K – to include the Si III object GD 394 – will be sent to anyone who requests one.

AbstractWe have calculated optical spectra of hydrogen-rich (DA) white dwarfs with magnetic field strengths between 1 MG and 1000 MG for temperatures between 7000 K and 50000 K. Through a least-squares minimization scheme, we have analyzed the spectra of 114 magnetic DAs from the Sloan Digital Survey (SDSS; 95 previously published plus 14 newly discovered within SDSS).
