Description
White dwarfs with surface magnetic fields in excess of 1 MG are found as isolated single stars and relatively more often in magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs). Some 1253 white dwarfs with a detached low-mass main-sequence companion are identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) but none of these is observed to show evidence for Zeeman splitting of hydrogen lines associated with a magnetic field in excess of 1 MG. If such high magnetic fields on white dwarfs result from the isolated...[Show more]
