Drawing from our [[#Animation|above discussion of timescales that arise in the context of our COLLADA-driven animations]], we therefore appreciate that the characteristic oscillation period associated with a white dwarf whose molecular weight of electrons is <math>~\mu_e = 2</math>, proves to be,

By presenting animation scenes in which one wall-clock "hour" equates to approximately 4 seconds of real time, we can reasonably assert that our animated models fairly represent how a Riemann-ellipsoid-like white dwarf should behave in real time.
