Planetary Accretion Is Less Frequent in Wide Binaries: Evidence from Metal-Enriched White Dwarfs in DESI DR1

Siyi Xu, Laura. K. Rogers, Joan Najita +32

Binary stars are common in the Galaxy, and understanding how stellar binarity influences the formation and evolution of planetary systems is an active area of research. In this stu…

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…

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…

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…

Velocity-imaging the rapidly precessing planetary disc around the white dwarf HE 1349-2305 using Doppler tomography

Christopher J. Manser, Erik Dennihy, Boris T. Gänsicke +11

The presence of planetary material in white dwarf atmospheres, thought to be accreted from a dusty debris disc produced via the tidal disruption of a planetesimal, is common. Appro…
