Rapid destruction of planetary debris around white dwarfs through aeolian erosion
Mor Rozner, Dimitri Veras, Hagai B. Perets
The discovery of numerous debris disks around white dwarfs (WDs), gave rise to extensive study of such disks and their role in polluting WDs, but the formation and evolution of the…
White dwarfs with planetary remnants in the era of Gaia I: six emission line systems
N. P. Gentile Fusillo, C. J. Manser, Boris T. Gänsicke +17
White dwarfs with emission lines from gaseous debris discs are among the rarest examples of planetary remnant hosts, but at the same time they are key objects for studying the fina…
NGTS-12b: A sub-Saturn mass transiting exoplanet in a 7.53 day orbit
Edward M. Bryant, Daniel Bayliss, Louise D. Nielsen +35
We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanet NGTS-12b by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The host star, NGTS-12, is a V=12.38 mag star with an effective temperatu…
DebrisWatch I: A survey of faint geosynchronous debris
James A. Blake, Paul Chote, Don Pollacco +9
Recent anomalies exhibited by satellites and rocket bodies have highlighted that a population of faint debris exists at geosynchronous (GEO) altitudes, where there are no natural r…
Short-term stability of particles in the WD J0914+1914 white dwarf planetary system
Euaggelos E. Zotos, Dimitri Veras, Tareq Saeed +1
Nearly all known white dwarf planetary systems contain detectable rocky debris in the stellar photosphere. A glaring exception is the young and still evolving white dwarf WD J0914+…
Gyr-timescale destruction of high-eccentricity asteroids by spin and why 2006 HY51 has been spared
Valeri V. Makarov, Alexey Goldin, Dimitri Veras
Asteroids and other small celestial bodies have markedly prolate shapes, and the perturbative triaxial torques which are applied during pericenter passages in highly eccentric orbi…
