Scientific paper

Currently the most complete sample of white dwarf stars comes from the local white dwarf population within 20 pc, which is believed to be 80 percent complete. This sample contains some 132 degenerate stars. We hope to effectively double the number of known local white dwarfs by extending the sample boundary to 25 pc, while still maintaining a high level of completeness. We discuss plans for extending the local sample and some of the studies that will be possible with this enlarged population. This work was funded in part by NSF Grant AST-1008845.
