Atmospheric Signatures of Common Envelope Evolution in White Dwarf Planets
Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg, James Mang +4
The majority of confirmed exoplanets orbit within 1 au of a main-sequence (MS) star. When their stellar hosts evolve off the MS, many of these planets will be engulfed and destroye…
Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate
Brooke Kotten, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Ricardo Yarza +11
Theoretical models predict that subgiants within a narrow mass regime can retain detectable lithium enrichment signatures from planetary engulfment. We test this prediction using T…
The Landscape of Unstable Mass Transfer in Interacting Binaries and Its Imprint on the Population of Luminous Red Novae
Angela A. G. Twum, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Morgan MacLeod +4
A common-envelope (CE) phase occurs when a star engulfs its companion and is widely considered the primary channel for producing Luminous Red Novae (LRNe). In this study, we combin…
Observable Metal Pollution in Main-Sequence Stars: Simulations of Rocky Planets Engulfed by Stars in the to M Range
Kaitlyn T. Lane, Alexander P. Stephan, Melinda Soares-Furtado +2
The engulfment of planets by their host stars is an expected outcome of various dynamical processes and has been invoked to explain a variety of observed stellar properties, such a…
