Outline:
1.) What are white dwarfs and why should we study them?
2.) A new imaging survey for white dwarfs: The CFHT Open Cluster Survey.
3.) The initial-final mass relation. chemical evolution and enrichment of the ISM the age of the Galactic disk the age of the Galactic halo: HST studies of globular clusters
4.) Stellar mass loss as a function of environment. UV upturn in elliptical galaxies planets around white dwarfs type Ia SNe

- Sirius: brightest star in the night sky (V = -1.5).- 1840’s - exhibits irregular motions on the sky (Bessel 1844).- Optical detection of companion by Alvan Clark in 1862.

- 50 year binary orbit 1 Msun companion, but MV = 11.3 (0.003 Lsun)!
- Sirius A and B have similar colors Radius of Sirius B = 1/100 Sirius A.
- Adams (1914; 1925): spectrum is white, gravitational redshift measured.
- White dwarf: very dense remnant of a hydrogen burning star (no fuel).

1.) Over 97% of all stars will eventually form white dwarfs. Unique link to the distribution of first generation stars in old stellar populations.
2.) White dwarfs cool predictably with time use as chronometers.
3.) Upper mass limit to white dwarf production = lower limit to type II SNe.
4.) Constraining fundamental stellar evolution and stellar mass loss.
5.) Theoretical calibration of evolutionary models of AGB and PN phases.

- Deep CFHT B,V imaging data set of two dozen, rich open clusters.
Goals: 1.) Cluster ages, distances, reddening, richness, etc. 2.) Luminosity and mass functions. 3.) Test theoretical isochrones through numerical simulations. 4.) Catalogue large populations of white dwarfs in each
system.

- Total integrated stellar mass loss through post main-sequence evolution.
- High mass end: Upper mass limit to WD production.- Low mass end: Ages of the Galactic disk and halo, stellar IMF.

The Theory:
- Mass Loss on the RGB (Faulkner 1972; Sweigart 1987, Castellani & Castellani 1993; Hansen 2005).
Two Tests:
1.) RGB luminosity function.2.) WD mass function.

Conclusions and Implications
1.) Mfinal = (0.109 +/- 0.007)Minitial + (0.394 +/- 0.025) Msun.
2.) Age of Galactic disk = 8 Gyr, Age of Galactic halo = 12 Gyr.
3.) Mass loss is more efficient in higher metallicity environments.
4.) NGC 6791 stars evolved along three channels…no age issue, 2nd peak.
5.) Source of UV upturn. -- variable excess among galaxies. -- correlation with metallicity?
6.) Planets. -- currently no known planets around WDs. -- Fischer & Valenti (2005) - 25% MS stars with planets have [Fe/H] > +0.3
- 3% of MS stars with planets have -0.5 < [Fe/H] < 0.07.) Type Ia SNe rates.
8.) Kilic, Stanek, & Pinsonneault (2007, ApJ, 671, 761).
- Fraction of [Fe/H] > +0.3 stars in Solar nbhd in the past 10 Gyrs = 3%. - Single, low mass WD formation rate = 4%.
