New nearby white dwarf systems

DOI

We present spectra for 33 previously unclassified white dwarf systems brighter than V=17, primarily in the southern hemisphere. Of these new systems, 26 are DA, 4 are DC, 2 are DZ, and 1 is DQ. We suspect that three of these systems are unresolved double degenerates. We obtained VRI photometry for these 33 objects, as well as for 23 known white dwarf systems without trigonometric parallaxes, also primarily in the southern hemisphere. For the 56 objects, we converted the photometry values to fluxes and fit them to a spectral energy distribution using the spectroscopy to determine which model to use (i.e., pure hydrogen, pure helium, or metal-rich helium), resulting in estimates of Teff and distance.
