Physics in the extreme: X-ray and optical studies of magnetic white dwarfs and related objects
… have a high inclination and harbour weakly magnetic white dwarfs with spin periods 17-22 min. There is also a strong focus on studying the long term behaviour in intermediate polars in this thesis. Chapter 5 presents results from Kepler observations of FO Aquarii taken over 69 consecutive …

The binary system containing the pulsar PSR 1913+16 and ultra-violet and x-radiation from accreting magnetic white dwarfs
… the companion be a black hole, a neutron star, a white dwarf or a helium main-sequence star. Observable second-order relativistic effects mayor may not further restrict the list of candidates. The discussion summarjzes Masters and Roberts, 1975 Ap. J. (Letters), l.25.., L 107, and Roberts t …

Strong Magnetic Field Effects and Molecular Processes with Applications to White Dwarfs
… transitions of hydrogenlike atoms in external magnetic fields of strength applicable to magnetic white dwarfs, i.e. B < 10<sup>3</sup> megagauss, have been investigated for field-free principal quantum numbers n < 6. Finite proton mass corrections are included. Relativistic corrections are also …

Topics in White Dwarfs
The observations of the 12 known magnetic white dwarfs are reviewed and a list of mechanisms is discussed which could give rise to the observed absorption and polarization spectra. Particular emphasis is placed on the observations of, and mechanisms important in the 3 magnetic white dwarfs to be …
