Abstract: | The existence of condensed carbon in the form of liquid droplets and graphite grains is found in white dwarf atmospheres with parametersg=108 cm s–2, H/He10–3, andT
eff6000 K on the basis of model atmospheres techniques. It is shown that the condensation layers are dynamically stable and, consequently, that white dwarfs cannot supply the condensed particles to the interstellar medium. Possible observable effects are considered. |
