Abstract

We investigate the sample of 1175 new nonmagnetic DA white dwarfs with the effective temperatures T_eff_>=12000K, which were extracted from the Data Release 1 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We determined masses, radii, and bolometric luminosities of stars in the sample. The above parameters were derived from the effective temperatures T_eff_ and surface gravities logg published in the DR1, and the new theoretical M-R relations for carbon-core and oxygen-core white dwarfs. Mass distribution of white dwarfs in this sample exhibits the peak at M=0.562M_{sun}_ (carbon-core stars), and the tail towards higher masses. Both the shape of the mass distribution function and the empirical mass-radius relation are practically identical for white dwarfs with either pure carbon or pure oxygen cores.
