Aerosols and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of a white dwarf planet
Ryan J. MacDonald, Christopher E. O'Connor, Victoria A. Boehm +15
Most stars, including our Sun, will one day evolve into red giants and, subsequently, white dwarfs. Several planet candidates have recently been identified orbiting white dwarfs, d…
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…
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…
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…
Thermal Emission and Confirmation of the Frigid White Dwarf Exoplanet WD 1856+534b
Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Ryan J. MacDonald +12
We report the detection of thermal emission from and confirm the planetary nature of WD 1856+534b, the first transiting planet known to orbit a white dwarf star. Observations with…
The 100 pc White Dwarf Sample in the SDSS Footprint II. A New Look at the Spectral Evolution of White Dwarfs
Mukremin Kilic, Pierre Bergeron, Simon Blouin +5
We increase the spectroscopic completeness of the 100 pc white dwarf sample in the SDSS footprint with 840 additional spectra. Our spectroscopy is 86% complete for white dwarfs hot…
