Constraining the Occurrence of ZLK-Induced White Dwarf Pollution with Dissipative Precession
Isabella Trierweiler, Konstantin Gerbig, Malena Rice
Von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) oscillations, induced by bound, perturbative companions to white dwarfs, have been suggested as a dynamical mechanism that may contribute to white dwar…

Do White Dwarfs Sample Water-Rich Planetary Material?
Isabella L. Trierweiler, Carl Melis, Ãrika Le Bourdais +9
Polluted white dwarfs offer a unique way to directly probe the compositions of exoplanetary bodies. We examine the water content of accreted material using the oxygen abundances of…
