Asynchronous accretion can mimic diverse white dwarf pollutants I: core and mantle fragments
Marc G. Brouwers, Amy Bonsor, Uri Malamud
Polluted white dwarfs serve as astrophysical mass spectrometers - their photospheric abundances are used to infer the composition of planetary objects that accrete onto them. We sh…
Asynchronous accretion can mimic diverse white dwarf pollutants II: water content
Marc G. Brouwers, Andrew M. Buchan, Amy Bonsor +3
Volatiles, notably water, are key to the habitability of rocky planets. The presence of water in planetary material can be inferred from the atmospheric oxygen abundances of pollut…
Prograde spin-up during gravitational collapse
Rico G. Visser, Marc G. Brouwers
Asteroids, planets, stars in some open clusters, as well as molecular clouds appear to possess a preferential spin-orbit alignment, pointing to shared processes that tie their rota…
