A road-map to white dwarf pollution: Tidal disruption, eccentric grind-down, and dust accretion
Marc G. Brouwers, Amy Bonsor, Uri Malamud
A significant fraction of white dwarfs show metal lines indicative of pollution with planetary material but the accretion process remains poorly understood. The main aim of this pa…
How planets grow by pebble accretion IV: Envelope opacity trends from sedimenting dust and pebbles
M. G. Brouwers, C. W. Ormel, A. Bonsor +1
The amount of nebular gas that a planet can bind is limited by its cooling rate, which is set by the opacity of its envelope. Accreting dust and pebbles contribute to the envelope…
Circularization of tidal debris around white dwarfs: implications for gas production and dust variability
Uri Malamud, Evgeni Grishin, Marc Brouwers
White dwarf (WD) pollution is thought to arise from the tidal disruption of planetary bodies. The initial fragment stream is extremely eccentric, while observational evidence sugge…
