Disintegrating Rocky Exoplanets
arXiv:1708.00633 · doi:10.1007/978-3-319-55333-7_15
Abstract
We discuss a new class of exoplanets that appear to be emitting a tail of dusty effluents. These disintegrating planets are found close to their host stars and have very hot, and likely molten, surfaces. The properties of the dust should provide a direct probe of the constituent material of these rocky bodies.
