Cold giant planets evaporated by hot white dwarfs
Matthias R. Schreiber, Boris T. Gaensicke, Odette Toloza +2
Atmospheric escape from close-in Neptunes and hot Jupiters around sun-like stars driven by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) irradiation plays an important role in the evolution of exo-pla…
Accretion of a giant planet onto a white dwarf
Boris T. Gaensicke, Matthias R. Schreiber, Odette Toloza +3
The detection of a dust disc around G29-38 and transits from debris orbiting WD1145+017 confirmed that the photospheric trace metals found in many white dwarfs arise from the accre…
Calibration of the mixing length theory for structures of helium-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs
Cukanovaite E., P. -E. Tremblay, B. Freytag +5
We perform a calibration of the mixing length parameter at the bottom boundary of the convection zone for helium-dominated atmospheres of white dwarfs. This calibration is based on…
A 9-Hr CV With One Outburst in 4 Years of Kepler Data
Zhifei Yu, John Thorstensen, Saul Rappaport +11
During a visual search through the Kepler main-field lightcurves, we have discovered a cataclysmic variable (CV) that experienced only a single 4-day long outburst over four years,…
A Volume Limited Sample of Cataclysmic Variables from DR2: Space Density and Population Properties
A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, E. Breedt +15
We present the first volume-limited sample of cataclysmic variables (CVs), selected using the accurate parallaxes provided by the second data release (DR2) of the ESA $\mathit{Gaia…
Astro 2020 Science White Paper: Evolved Planetary Systems around White Dwarfs
Boris Gaensicke, Martin Barstow, Amy Bonsor +25
Practically all known planet hosts will evolve into white dwarfs, and large parts of their planetary systems will survive this transition - the same is true for the solar system be…
