Dr. Kenneth Pestka II in collaboration with recent Longwood graduate Adam Crews (19) presented an iPoster titled, “Cubic crystal elastic constants of a crystallized white dwarf stellar core,” at the 235th American Astronomical Society Meeting on Monday, January 6th 2020. The project is a continuation of research started several years ago on computational models of crystallized white dwarf stellar cores and includes oscillatory behavior that can potentially be used to extract elastic parameters of crystallized pulsating white dwarfs stars. The abstract is now available at the American Astronomical Society Meeting website https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/8993/presentation/3630
