White dwarfs within 13 pc: Insights from ultraviolet spectroscopy
Mairi W. O'Brien, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gaensicke +9
We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the 44 confirmed white dwarfs within 13 pc of the Sun. Combining flux-calibrated ultraviolet (…
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…
From Hubble to HWO: Bridging the Frontier of White Dwarf Exoplanet Science
Laura K. Rogers, Siyi Xu, Martin Barstow +20
White dwarf stars, the endpoint of stellar evolution for 97% of stars in our Milky Way, offer a unique and powerful window into the bulk elemental composition of rocky exoplanetary…
The Hubble Advanced Spectral Product (HASP) Program
John Debes, Ravi Sankrit, Travis Fischer +39
The Hubble Advanced Spectral Products (HASP) program is designed to robustly coadd Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) spectra within…
Overview of the New Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive
Ravi Sankrit, John Debes, Matthew Burger +34
The new Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive (HSLA) provides coadded spectra of individual targets that have been observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) and the Space T…
First Resolution of a Main Sequence G-Star Astrosphere Using Chandra
C. M. Lisse, S. J. Wolk, B. Snios +24
We report resolution of a halo of X-ray line emission surrounding the Zero Age Main Sequence (ZAMS) G8.5V star HD 61005 by Chandra ACIS-S. Located only 36.4 pc distant, HD 61005 is…
