Planetary Accretion Is Less Frequent in Wide Binaries: Evidence from Metal-Enriched White Dwarfs in DESI DR1
Siyi Xu, Laura. K. Rogers, Joan Najita +32
Binary stars are common in the Galaxy, and understanding how stellar binarity influences the formation and evolution of planetary systems is an active area of research. In this stu…
The DESI Data Release 1 white dwarf catalogue
Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke, Paula Izquierdo +49
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is conducting a redshift survey, mapping the universe in three dimensions to measure the history of cosmic expansion. As well as extragalac…
Tracing outer planetary systems through white dwarf pollution in wide binaries
Carolina Lizana-Vidal, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Laura K. Rogers +5
White dwarf (WD) atmospheric metal pollution provides strong evidence for the presence of remnant planetary material and it can be used as an indirect tracer of outer planetary sys…
First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs
Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43
Metal-enriched white dwarfs provide a unique insight into the composition of exoplanet interiors. These stars accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, and hence, measuring…
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…
White dwarf planetary systems in the ultraviolet
Jamie Williams, Amy Bonsor, Boris Gänsicke +9
Almost every known planet host will evolve into a white dwarf, and the surviving planetary material will continue to orbit this stellar remnant. Asteroids perturbed onto star-grazi…
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…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XIV: A Comoving-Based Age Constraint for KELT-20
Adam Distler, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew W. Mann +9
Young stellar moving groups offer unique opportunities to investigate the early evolution of stellar and planetary systems. In continuation of an ongoing effort to age-date compell…
Finding rare classes in large datasets: the case of polluted white dwarfs from Gaia XP spectra
Xander Byrne, Amy Bonsor, Laura K. Rogers +1
The Gaia mission's third data release recorded low-resolution spectra for about 100 000 white dwarf candidates. A small subset of these spectra show evidence of characteristic broa…
Can tidal evolution lead to close-in planetary bodies around white dwarfs I: Orbital period distribution
Yuqi Li, Amy Bonsor, Oliver Shorttle +1
The evolution of planetary systems around white dwarfs is crucial to understanding the presence of planetary material in the atmospheres of white dwarfs. These systems uniquely pro…
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…
Simultaneous emission from dust and gas in the planetary debris orbiting a white dwarf
Laura K. Rogers, Christopher J. Manser, Amy Bonsor +11
There is increasing evidence for the presence and variability of circumstellar dust and gas around white dwarfs that are polluted with exoplanetary material, although the origin of…
Host-star and exoplanet composition: Polluted white dwarf reveals depletion of moderately refractory elements in planetary material
Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Laura K. Rogers, Amy Bonsor +6
Planets form from the same cloud of molecular gas and dust as their host stars. Confirming if planetary bodies acquire the same refractory element composition as their natal disc d…
Semi-supervised Spectral Classification of DESI White Dwarfs by Dimensionality Reduction
Xander Byrne, Amy Bonsor, Laura K. Rogers +1
As a new generation of large-sky spectroscopic surveys comes online, the enormous data volume poses unprecedented challenges in classifying spectra. Modern unsupervised techniques…
White dwarf constraints on geological processes at the population level
Andrew M. Buchan, Amy Bonsor, Laura K. Rogers +3
White dwarf atmospheres are frequently polluted by material from their own planetary systems. Absorption features from Ca, Mg, Fe and other elements can provide unique insights int…
Hunting for Polluted White Dwarfs and Other Treasures with Gaia XP Spectra and Unsupervised Machine Learning
Malia L. Kao, Keith Hawkins, Laura K. Rogers +5
White dwarfs (WDs) polluted by exoplanetary material provide the unprecedented opportunity to directly observe the interiors of exoplanets. However, spectroscopic surveys are often…
Early Release Science of the Exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec G395H
Lili Alderson, Hannah R. Wakeford, Munazza K. Alam +89
Measuring the abundances of carbon and oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres is considered a crucial avenue for unlocking the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. Access to a…
