Absolute magnitude in different bands (from top-left FUV, NUV, V and H) versus cooling age for the white dwarf models of Vennes et al. (2011) (black lines) and a sample of nearby dwarfs collected by Giammichele et al. (2012). Stars represent objects with all magnitudes available and diamonds represent the other. Colors indicate the mass from the lowest (blue) to the highest (red ones) white dwarfs. The continuous blue horizontal line represents the magnitude of HD 8049 B. The corresponding error bars are plotted as dashed blue lines. The plots show that the objects of the Giammichele et al. (2012) catalog are not peculiar and are well described by the theoretical models of Vennes et al. (2011).
