Can tidal evolution lead to close-in planetary bodies around white dwarfs II: volcanism and transits

Yuqi Li, Amy Bonsor, Oliver Shorttle

Planetary material accreted by white dwarfs provides unique insights regarding exoplanetary composition. The evolutionary pathways of planetary bodies around white dwarfs are cruci…

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…

Measurements of three exo-planetesimal compositions: a planetary core, a chondritic body, and an icy Kuiper belt analogue

Jamie T. Williams, Boris T. Gänsicke, Snehalata Sahu +6

The study of planetesimal debris accreted by white dwarfs offers unique insights into the composition of exoplanets. Using far-ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy, we have analyse…

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…

Post-main sequence thermal evolution of planetesimals

Yuqi Li, Amy Bonsor, Oliver Shorttle

White dwarfs that have accreted planetary materials provide a powerful tool to probe the interiors and formation of exoplanets. In particular, the high Fe/Si ratio of some white dw…
