Debris discs in binaries: morphology and photometric signatures

Philippe Thebault, Quentin Kral, Johan Olofsson

We aim to see whether debris belts evolving in between two stars may be impacted by the presence of the companion and whether this leaves any detectable signature that could be obs…

WD 1856 b: a close giant planet around a white dwarf that could have survived a common-envelope phase

F. Lagos, M. R. Schreiber, M. Zorotovic +3

The discovery of a giant planet candidate orbiting the white dwarf WD 1856+534 with an orbital period of 1.4 d poses the questions of how the planet reached its current position. W…

Exocomets from a Solar System Perspective

Paul A. Strøm, Dennis Bodewits, Matthew M. Knight +24

Exocomets are small bodies releasing gas and dust which orbit stars other than the Sun. Their existence was first inferred from the detection of variable absorption features in ste…

How Jupiters save or destroy inner Neptunes around evolved stars

María Paula Ronco, Matthias R. Schreiber, Cristian A. Giuppone +3

In about 6 Giga years our Sun will evolve into a red giant and finally end its life as a white dwarf. This stellar metamorphosis will occur to virtually all known host stars of exo…

Setting the Stage: Planet formation and Volatile Delivery

Julia Venturini, M. Paula Ronco, Octavio M. Guilera

The diversity in mass and composition of planetary atmospheres stems from the different building blocks present in protoplanetary discs and from the different physical and chemical…

Binary-induced spiral arms inside the disc cavity of AB Aurigae

Pedro P. Poblete, Josh Calcino, Nicolás Cuello +5

In this work we demonstrate that the inner spiral structure observed in AB Aurigae can be created by a binary star orbiting inside the dust cavity. We find that a companion with a…
