Spectroscopic Monitoring of Metal Lines in Polluted White Dwarfs

Laura K. Rogers, Michael M. Shara, Amy Bonsor +12

The disruption and accretion of planetary material onto white dwarfs is expected to be inherently dynamic and stochastic, potentially driving variability in the accretion rate and…

Searching for Exoplanets Born Outside the Milky Way: VOYAGERS Survey Design

Robert Aloisi, Andrew Vanderburg, Melinda Soares-Furtado +44

Observations over the past few decades have found that planets are common around nearby stars in our Galaxy, but little is known about planets that formed outside the Milky Way. We…

Finding rare classes in large datasets: the case of polluted white dwarfs from Gaia XP spectra

Xander Byrne, Amy Bonsor, Laura K. Rogers +1

The Gaia mission's third data release recorded low-resolution spectra for about 100 000 white dwarf candidates. A small subset of these spectra show evidence of characteristic broa…

A Machine-Learning Compositional Study of Exoplanetary Material Accreted Onto Five Helium-Atmosphere White Dwarfs with

Mariona Badenas-Agusti, Siyi Xu, Andrew Vanderburg +8

We present the first application of the Machine Learning (ML) pipeline to determine the physical parameters and photospheric composition of five metal-polluted H…

Sporadic Dips from Extended Debris Transiting the Metal-Rich White Dwarf SBSS 1232+563

J. J. Hermes, Joseph A. Guidry, Zachary P. Vanderbosch +5

We present the discovery of deep but sporadic transits in the flux of SBSS 1232+563, a metal-rich white dwarf polluted by disrupted exoplanetary debris. Nearly 25 years of photomet…

Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) I.: High precision stellar chemical abundance for 17 planet-hosting stars and the condensation temperature trend

Qinghui Sun, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Tianjun Gan +30

The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, hi…

Absence of a Correlation between White Dwarf Planetary Accretion and Primordial Stellar Metallicity

Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg, Allyson Bieryla +8

Over a quarter of white dwarfs have photospheric metal pollution, which is evidence for recent accretion of exoplanetary material. While a wide range of mechanisms have been propos…

cecilia: A Machine Learning-Based Pipeline for Measuring Metal Abundances of Helium-rich Polluted White Dwarfs

M. Badenas-Agusti, J. Viaña, A. Vanderburg +4

Over the past several decades, conventional spectral analysis techniques of polluted white dwarfs have become powerful tools to learn about the geology and chemistry of extrasolar…

Detection and Preliminary Characterisation of Polluted White Dwarfs from Gaia EDR3 and LAMOST

Mariona Badenas-Agusti, Andrew Vanderburg, Simon Blouin +4

We present a catalogue of 62 polluted white dwarfs observed by the 9th Low-Resolution Data Release of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST LRS DR9v…

HD 191939 revisited: New and refined planet mass determinations, and a new planet in the habitable zone

J. Orell-Miquel, G. Nowak, F. Murgas +20

HD 191939 (TOI-1339) is a nearby (d=54pc), bright (V=9mag), and inactive Sun-like star (G9 V) known to host a multi-planet transiting system. Ground-based spectroscopic observation…

TESS discovery of a super-Earth and three sub-Neptunes hosted by the bright, Sun-like star HD 108236

Tansu Daylan, Kartik Pingle, Jasmine Wright +59

We report the discovery and validation of four extrasolar planets hosted by the nearby, bright, Sun-like (G3V) star HD~108236 using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satell…

HD 191939: Three Sub-Neptunes Transiting a Sun-like Star Only 54 pc Away

Mariona Badenas-Agusti, Maximilian N. Günther, Tansu Daylan +38

We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune-sized planets transiting the nearby and bright Sun-like star HD 191939 (TIC 269701147, TOI 1339), a magnitude G8 V dwarf…
