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…

Seven white dwarfs with circumstellar gas discs I: white dwarf parameters and accreted planetary abundances

L. K. Rogers, A. Bonsor, S. Xu +9

Observations of planetary material polluting the atmospheres of white dwarfs are an important probe of the bulk composition of exoplanetary material. Medium- and high-resolution op…

A cool, magnetic white dwarf accreting planetary debris

Stephane Vennes, Adela Kawka, Beth L. Klein +3

We present an analysis of spectroscopic data of the cool, highly magnetic and polluted white dwarf 2MASS J0916-4215. The atmosphere of the white dwarf is dominated by hydrogen, but…

Disk or Companion: Characterizing Excess Infrared Flux in Seven White Dwarf Systems with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Dylan Owens, Siyi Xu, Elena Manjavacas +7

Excess infrared flux from white dwarf stars is likely to arise from a dusty debris disk or a cool companion. In this work, we present near-infrared spectroscopic observations with…

New chondritic bodies identified in eight oxygen-bearing white dwarfs

Alexandra E. Doyle, Beth L. Klein, Patrick Dufour +8

We present observations and analyses of eight white dwarf stars that have accreted rocky material from their surrounding planetary systems. The spectra of these helium-atmosphere w…

white dwarfs within 40 pc III: spectroscopic observations of new candidates in the southern hemisphere

Mairi W. O'Brien, P. -E. Tremblay, N. P. Gentile Fusillo +31

We present a spectroscopic survey of 248 white dwarf candidates within 40 pc of the Sun; of these 244 are in the southern hemisphere. Observations were performed mostly with the Ve…
