A Bayesian Search for Planet Engulfment Signatures in Solar Analogs
Zimo Cheng, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Fan Liu +11
We present a systematic Bayesian search for chemical fingerprints of planet engulfment in 113 solar twins and analogs with high-precision abundance measurements, 45 of which host k…
The Sun's chemical peculiarity: disentangling Galactic chemical evolution and planetary engulfment in solar twins
Mia Babatsikos, Fan Liu, Amanda Karakas +5
Recent observational studies have suggested that the Sun may be chemically peculiar relative to the majority of solar twins. Here, we re-analyse high-resolution, high signal-to-noi…
Planet engulfment in the chemically anomalous HD 129171/HD 129209 pair
Anne Rathsam, Jorge Meléndez, Rodolfo Smiljanic +2
Binary systems composed of stars with similar parameters should have identical chemical composition. However, many chemically anomalous pairs have been found in the literature, suc…
JWST Exoplanetary Worlds and Elemental Survey (JEWELS) II: Condensation Temperature Trends and Galactic Chemical Evolution in JWST Planet-Hosting Stars
Qinghui Sun, Xianyu Tan, Gordon +5
We present high-precision chemical abundances for 25 FGK-type stars hosting exoplanets observed in JWST Cycle 3 programs and all GTO and DDT programs from Cycles 1-3, based on high…
C3PO V: Comoving stellar pairs indicate rotational spin-down drives the main-sequence Li-Dip
Qinghui Sun, Yuan-Sen Ting, Barbara J. Anthony-Twarog +4
The lithium-dip observed in mid-F dwarfs remains a long-standing challenge for stellar evolution models. We present high-precision stellar parameters and A(Li) for 22 new comoving…
Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) II: chemical abundances, systematic offsets, and clues to planet formation
Qinghui Sun, Chenyang Ji, Sharon Xuesong Wang +5
Context. Previous studies have suggested that the Sun is relatively depleted in refractory elements compared to other solar twins or analogs, potentially as a result of planet form…
