| Abstract: |
We show that the Chandra LETG spectrum of the hottest known DO white dwarf, KPD0005+5106, can be qualitatively modelled as photospheric emission, and does not require a coronal explanation. The excess flux found by Fleming et al. (1993) in the 0.2-0.3 keV region arises from deeper atmospheric layers revealed by a lower continuous opacity in this region. The 1 keV emission found by O'Dwyer et al. (2003) lies below our detection threshold, but cannot be explained by photospheric models. |
