Simultaneous emission from dust and gas in the planetary debris orbiting a white dwarf

Laura K. Rogers, Christopher J. Manser, Amy Bonsor +11

There is increasing evidence for the presence and variability of circumstellar dust and gas around white dwarfs that are polluted with exoplanetary material, although the origin of…

Semi-supervised Spectral Classification of DESI White Dwarfs by Dimensionality Reduction

Xander Byrne, Amy Bonsor, Laura K. Rogers +1

As a new generation of large-sky spectroscopic surveys comes online, the enormous data volume poses unprecedented challenges in classifying spectra. Modern unsupervised techniques…

Modeling Circumstellar Gas Emission around a White Dwarf Using Cloudy

Siyi Xu, Sherry Yeh, Laura. K. Rogers +9

The chemical composition of an extrasolar planet is fundamental to its formation, evolution and habitability. In this study, we explore a new way to measure the chemical compositio…

The frequency of metal-enrichment of cool helium-atmosphere white dwarfs using the DESI Early Data Release

Christopher J. Manser, Boris T. Gänsicke, Paula Izquierdo +35

There is overwhelming evidence that white dwarfs host planetary systems; revealed by the presence, disruption, and accretion of planetary bodies. A lower limit on the frequency of…
