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…
Constraining the Occurrence of ZLK-Induced White Dwarf Pollution with Dissipative Precession
Isabella Trierweiler, Konstantin Gerbig, Malena Rice
Von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) oscillations, induced by bound, perturbative companions to white dwarfs, have been suggested as a dynamical mechanism that may contribute to white dwar…
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…
A Chondritic Solar Neighborhood
Isabella L. Trierweiler, Alexandra E. Doyle, Edward D. Young
A persistent question in exoplanet demographics is whether exoplanetary systems form from similar compositional building blocks to our own. Polluted white dwarf stars offer a uniqu…
New chondritic bodies identified in eight oxygen-bearing white dwarfs
Alexandra E. Doyle, Beth L. Klein, Patrick Dufour +8
We present observations and analyses of eight white dwarf stars that have accreted rocky material from their surrounding planetary systems. The spectra of these helium-atmosphere w…
Exomoons as sources of white dwarf pollution
Isabella L Trierweiler, Alexandra E Doyle, Carl Melis +2
Polluted white dwarfs offer a unique way to study the bulk compositions of exoplanetary material, but it is not always clear if this material originates from comets, asteroids, moo…
First Detections of Exop(lan)ets: Observations and Follow-Ups of the Floofiest Transits on Zoom
Sabina Sagynbayeva, Briley L. Lewis, Graham M. Doskoch +16
With the proliferation of online Zoom meetings as a means of doing science in the 2020s, astronomers have made new and unexpected Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations. Chief am…
Atmosphere Loss by Aerial Bursts
Isabella L. Trierweiler, Hilke E. Schlichting
We present a simple analytic description of atmospheric mass loss by aerial bursts and demonstrate that mass loss from aerial bursts becomes significant when the maximum impactor s…
