Why g<19?SNR>20
SDSS
Gemini 8m
7753 DAs in DR4, 348 in Liebert et al. 2005 PG
Monte Carlo simulation for SNR=20
964 DAs
7753 DAs, 616 DBs in DR4
PGDB
DA
243 DBs g<19
High Mass DA
3230 Das with g<19, 864 (27%) have M>0.8 Mo,, 13 above 1.2Mo and Teff > 12000K
High Mass DA
Low Mass DAs

Mo
Is the increase in mass at low Teff real?
DA
-Convection bringing He up? MH<10-11M*? NO! Seismology MH>10-7
also Lawlor & McDonald 2006 models
-Neutral particles treatment? NO! Piotr Kowalski, 2006, astro-ph 0607606
-Low metallicity in AGB? WD 1Mo

~2 Gyr for 1.2 Mo
DB Age15000K ~0.3 Gyr for 0.6 Mo
~1.1Gyr for 1.2 Mo
-New Theory? Neutral particle broadening?
