First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs
Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43
The paper analyzes 12 highly metal‑rich white dwarfs from DESI DR1, measuring their photospheric metal abundances to infer the bulk composition of the accreted planetary debris, wh…
I Can Do It With A Broken Planetesimal: Characterising the planetary debris in heavily polluted cool white dwarfs
Anna-Maria Cutolo, Boris T. Gänsicke, Boris T. Gänsicke +8
The paper analyzes four cool, metal‑polluted hydrogen‑atmosphere white dwarfs using X‑shooter spectra to determine their atmospheric parameters and the composition of accreted plan…
NGTS-39 b: A 58 d transiting warm Jupiter in an eccentric orbit
Ioannis Apergis, Daniel Bayliss, Solène Ulmer-Moll +53
We report the discovery and characterisation of NGTS-39 b (TIC 453147896 b), a warm Jupiter transiting a Sun-like star on a 58.2 day, eccentric (e = 0.386 +/- 0.019) orbit. NGTS-39…
White dwarf planetary systems in the ultraviolet
Jamie Williams, Amy Bonsor, Boris Gänsicke +9
Almost every known planet host will evolve into a white dwarf, and the surviving planetary material will continue to orbit this stellar remnant. Asteroids perturbed onto star-grazi…
From Hubble to HWO: Bridging the Frontier of White Dwarf Exoplanet Science
Laura K. Rogers, Siyi Xu, Martin Barstow +20
White dwarf stars, the endpoint of stellar evolution for 97% of stars in our Milky Way, offer a unique and powerful window into the bulk elemental composition of rocky exoplanetary…
Discovery of an icy and nitrogen-rich extrasolar planetesimal
Snehalata Sahu, Boris T. Gänsicke, Jamie T. Williams +7
White dwarfs accreting planetary debris provide detailed insight into the bulk composition of rocky exo-planetesimals. However, only one Kuiper-Belt analogue has been identified in…
