An All-sky Survey of White Dwarf Merger Remnants: Far-Ultraviolet Is the Key
The majority of merging white dwarfs leave behind a white dwarf remnant. Hot/warm DQ white dwarfs with carbon-rich atmospheres have high masses and unusual kinematics. All evidence points to a merger origin. Here, we demonstrate that far-UV (FUV) and optical photometry provides an efficient way to i...
