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…

White dwarfs within 13 pc: Insights from ultraviolet spectroscopy

Mairi W. O'Brien, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gaensicke +9

We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the 44 confirmed white dwarfs within 13 pc of the Sun. Combining flux-calibrated ultraviolet (…

White Dwarf Classification of DESI DR1 Spectra1

Larissa L. Amorim, Weligton. N. Costa Junior, S. O. Kepler +3

We present a new catalog of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1. We visually classified 44,417 white dwarf…

New ultralight scalar particles and the mass-radius relation of white dwarfs -- the important role of Sirius B

Kai Bartnick, Detlev Koester, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki +3

We present the equation of state for two classes of new ultralight particles, a scalar field coupling to electrons and a light QCD axion field coupling to…

Re-evaluating Lyman wing opacities and the low mass-problem in cool white dwarfs

Snehalata Sahu, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Detlev Koester +4

Gaia observations have reignited interest in the optical and ultraviolet (UV) opacity problems of cool white dwarfs ( K), which were thought to be resolved n…
