The MIRI Excess around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey II: A Probable Planet detected via IR Excess around WD 0644+025
Sabrina Poulsen, John Debes, Ashley Messier +14
The MIRI Excess Around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey is a cycle 2 JWST program designed to image nearby white dwarfs with MIRI at 10 and 15 microns. This survey targeted 56 white dwarf…
Follow-up Observations of Candidate White Dwarf Planets with MIRI
Fergal Mullally, Susan E. Mullally, Misty Cracraft +6
We report on second-epoch imaging of two candidate planet-hosting white dwarfs stars, WD2105-82 and WD1202-232. Both stars showed evidence of resolved, planet-mass candidate compan…
The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176
Loïc Albert, Sabrina R. Poulsen, Ãrika Le Bourdais +17
The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging…
Composition of planetary debris around the white dwarf GD 362
William T. Reach, Mukremin Kilic, Carey M. Lisse +9
White dwarf stars with high abundances of heavy elements in their atmospheres and infrared excesses are believed to be accreting planetary material. GD 362 is one of the most heavi…
LMC+: Large-scale mapping of [CII] and [OIII] in the LMC molecular ridge, I. Dataset and line ratio analyses
C. Fischer, S. C. Madden, A. Krabbe +29
The fundamental process of star formation in galaxies involves the interplay between the fueling of star formation via molecular gas and the feedback from recently formed massive s…
Metal Polluted White Dwarfs with 21 μm IR excesses from JWST/MIRI: Planets or Dust?
John H. Debes, Sabrina Poulsen, Ashley Messier +13
White dwarfs with metal pollution are caused by the accretion of rocky dust from tidally disrupted minor bodies and are signposts for planetary systems. These minor bodies are pert…
