Description: White Dwarfs collects the contributions to the 10th European Workshop on White Dwarfs held in Blanes, Spain, in June 1996. This Workshop gathered together the majority of specialists working in this area of research and provided a precise and updated description of the state of the art of the field as well as its connections with other topics. This volume provides a snapshot of our current understanding of the origin, structure and evolution of white dwarf stars from both the theoretical and the observational points of view. It also takes into account the properties of white dwarfs as members of binary systems, stellar clusters and galactic populations.
