Chemical equilibrium between Cores, Mantles, and Atmospheres of Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes, and Implications for their Compositions, Interiors and Evolution
Hilke E. Schlichting, Edward D. Young
We investigate equilibrium chemistry between molten metal and silicate, and a hydrogen-rich envelope using 18 independent reactions among 25 phase components for sub-Neptune-like e…
Discovery of Beryllium in White Dwarfs Polluted by Planetesimal Accretion
Beth Klein, Alexandra E. Doyle, B. Zuckerman +5
The element beryllium is detected for the first time in white dwarf stars. This discovery in the spectra of two helium-atmosphere white dwarfs was made possible only because of the…
Icy Exomoons Evidenced by Spallogenic Nuclides in Polluted White Dwarfs
Alexandra E. Doyle, Steven J. Desch, Edward D. Young
We present evidence that excesses in Be in polluted white dwarfs (WDs) are the result of accretion of icy exomoons that formed in the radiation belts of giant exoplanets. Here we u…
