| Abstract: |
In this contribution we present white dwarf mass distributions of a
large sample of post common-envelope binaries and wide white
dwarf-main sequence binaries. Whilst the former contains a much larger
fraction of low-mass white dwarfs, the latter is similar to single
white dwarf mass distributions. Our results give robust indications
that the majority of low-mass white dwarfs are formed in binaries. |
