Abstract and Summary
... White-dwarfs represent the remnant form of 95% of all stars. If it is assumed that stars retain their angular momentum throughout the evolutionary process, then white-dwarfs should rotate relatively rapidly, owing to their compact nature. However observations of photospheres show that white-dwarf st ...
