The Future of Evolved Planetary Systems

Roberto Raddi, Anna F. Pala, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +19

Understanding the formation, evolution, and chemical diversity of exoplanets are now central areas of astrophysics research. White dwarfs provide a uniquely sensitive laboratory fo…

The Origins & Reservoirs of Exocomets

Michele Bannister, Susanne Pfalzner, Tim Pearce +11

Small bodies exist in distinct populations within their planetary systems. These reservoir populations hold a range of compositions, which to first order are dependent on formation…

Discovery of an icy and nitrogen-rich extrasolar planetesimal

Snehalata Sahu, Boris T. Gänsicke, Jamie T. Williams +7

White dwarfs accreting planetary debris provide detailed insight into the bulk composition of rocky exo-planetesimals. However, only one Kuiper-Belt analogue has been identified in…

Transiting Planetary Debris near the Roche Limit of a White Dwarf on a 4.97hr Orbit -- and its Vanishing

Joseph A. Guidry, Zachary P. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes +9

We present the discovery of deep, irregular, periodic transits towards the white dwarf ZTFJ19444557 using follow-up time-series photometry and spectroscopy from Palomar, Kec…

Bounding destruction timescales of minor planets orbiting white dwarfs with the sesquinary catastrophe

Dimitri Veras, Matija Ćuk

Dynamical activity attributed to the destruction of minor planets orbiting white dwarfs has now been photometrically monitored in individual systems for up to one decade, long enou…

Resupplying planetary debris to old white dwarfs with supernova blast waves

Dimitri Veras

One challenge with explaining how high levels of planetary debris can enrich, or "pollute", old (3 Gyr) and very old (10 Gyr) white dwarfs is that debris reservoirs dep…
