cds-question@unistra.frwhite-dwarf-starsstellar-evolutionary-modelsabsolute-magnitudeWe present new diagnostics of white dwarf (WD) cooling sequences and luminosity functions (LFs) in the near-infrared (NIR) bands that will exploit the sensitivity and resolution of future extremely large telescopes. The collision-induced absorption (CIA) of molecular hydrogen causes a clearly defined blue turn-off along the WD (WDBTO) cooling sequences and a bright secondary maximum in the WD LFs. These features are independent of age over a broad age range and are minimally affected by metal abundance. This means that the NIR magnitudes of the WDBTO are very promising distance indicators.2013A&A...549A.102Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/549/A102CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/549/A102https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/549/A102http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/549/A102https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/549/A102https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/549/A102http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/549/A102GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/A+A/549/A102/isoWhite Dwarf isochronesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
