Lithium pollution of a white dwarf records the accretion of an extrasolar planetesimal
Benjamin C. Kaiser, J. Christopher Clemens, Simon Blouin +4
Tidal disruption and subsequent accretion of planetesimals by white dwarfs can reveal the elemental abundances of rocky bodies in exoplanetary systems. Those abundances provide inf…
I Spy Transits and Pulsations: Empirical Variability in White Dwarfs Using Gaia and the Zwicky Transient Facility
Joseph A. Guidry, Zachary P. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes +13
We present a novel method to detect variable astrophysical objects and transient phenomena using anomalous excess scatter in repeated measurements from public catalogs of Gaia DR2…
Five New Post-Main-Sequence Debris Disks with Gaseous Emission
Erik Dennihy, Siyi Xu, Samuel Lai +13
Observations of debris disks, the products of the collisional evolution of rocky planetesimals, can be used to trace planetary activity across a wide range of stellar types. The mo…
An Isolated White Dwarf with 317-Second Rotation and Magnetic Emission
Joshua S. Reding, J. J. Hermes, Z. Vanderbosch +5
We report the discovery of short-period photometric variability and modulated Zeeman-split hydrogen emission in SDSSJ125230.93-023417.72 (EPIC 228939929), a variable white dwarf st…
