Observable Signatures of Planet Accretion in Red Giant Stars I: Rapid Rotation and Light Element Replenishment
Joleen K. Carlberg, Katia Cunha, Verne V. Smith +1
The orbital angular momentum of a close-orbiting giant planet can be sufficiently large that, if transferred to the envelope of the host star during the red giant branch (RGB) evol…
The Super Lithium-Rich Red Giant Rapid Rotator G0928+73.2600: A Case for Planet Accretion?
Joleen K. Carlberg, Verne V. Smith, Katia Cunha +2
We present the discovery of a super lithium-rich K giant star, G0928+73.2600. This red giant (T_eff = 4885 K and log g = 2.65) is a fast rotator with a projected rotational velocit…
The Role of Planet Accretion in Creating the Next Generation of Red Giant Rapid Rotators
Joleen K. Carlberg, Steven R. Majewski, Phil Arras
Rapid rotation in field red giant stars is a relatively rare but well-studied phenomenon; here we investigate the potential role of planet accretion in spinning up these stars. Usi…
