Discovery of a second-generation planet candidate accreting onto a white dwarf

Jamie T. Williams, Boris T. Gänsicke, Nicholas C. Stone +10

Many white dwarfs accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, detected in the form of metal-enrichment in their atmospheres, dusty or gaseous circumstellar discs, and photome…

The DESI Data Release 1 white dwarf catalogue

Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke, Paula Izquierdo +49

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is conducting a redshift survey, mapping the universe in three dimensions to measure the history of cosmic expansion. As well as extragalac…

First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs

Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43

Metal-enriched white dwarfs provide a unique insight into the composition of exoplanet interiors. These stars accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, and hence, measuring…

I Can Do It With A Broken Planetesimal: Characterising the planetary debris in heavily polluted cool white dwarfs

Anna-Maria Cutolo, Boris T. Gänsicke, Andrew Swan +7

We present the analysis of four cool and strongly metal-polluted H-atmosphere white dwarfs observed with X-shooter. We compared their atmospheric parameters obtained from spectrosc…

White dwarfs within 13 pc: insights from ultraviolet spectroscopy

Mairi W. O'Brien, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +10

We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the 44 confirmed white dwarfs within 13 pc of the Sun. Combining flux-calibrated ultraviolet s…

White Dwarf Classification of DESI DR1 Spectra1

Larissa L. Amorim, Weligton. N. Costa Junior, S. O. Kepler +3

We present a new catalog of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1. We visually classified 44,417 white dwarf…
