The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176
Loïc Albert, Sabrina R. Poulsen, Érika Le Bourdais +17
The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging…
Do White Dwarfs Sample Water-Rich Planetary Material?
Isabella L. Trierweiler, Carl Melis, Érika Le Bourdais +9
Polluted white dwarfs offer a unique way to directly probe the compositions of exoplanetary bodies. We examine the water content of accreted material using the oxygen abundances of…
An All-sky Survey of White Dwarf Merger Remnants: Far-UV is the Key
Mukremin Kilic, Pierre Bergeron, Warren R. Brown +5
The majority of merging white dwarfs leave behind a white dwarf remnant. Hot/warm DQ white dwarfs with carbon-rich atmospheres have high masses and unusual kinematics. All evidence…
White dwarfs as probes of extrasolar planet compositions and fundamental astrophysics
Siyi Xu, Martin Barstow, Andy Buchan +2
White dwarfs represent the most common end stage of stellar evolution and are important for a range of astrophysical questions. The high-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopic capabi…
Metal Polluted White Dwarfs with 21 μm IR excesses from JWST/MIRI: Planets or Dust?
John H. Debes, Sabrina Poulsen, Ashley Messier +13
White dwarfs with metal pollution are caused by the accretion of rocky dust from tidally disrupted minor bodies and are signposts for planetary systems. These minor bodies are pert…
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…
