Scientific paper

Recently, Liebert et al. (1989) have obtained an approximate observational luminosity function for halo white dwarfs. In the present work, theoretical luminosity functions of such stars are constructed, and their dependence on the age of the halo is examined. Finally, it is shown that accurate observational luminosity functions could provide useful information about the evolution of the galaxy.
