Bayesian constraints on the origin and geology of exo-planetary material using a population of externally polluted white dwarfs
John H. D. Harrison, Amy Bonsor, Mihkel Kama +3
White dwarfs that have accreted planetary bodies are a powerful probe of the bulk composition of exoplanetary material. In this paper, we present a Bayesian model to explain the ab…
