White Dwarf Luminosity Function

The White Dwarf Luminosity Function is a statistical representation that quantifies the number density of white dwarf stars per unit luminosity interval, serving as a fundamental diagnostic tool in stellar population studies to constrain the age, formation history, and evolution of galactic stellar populations.
