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…

A catalogue of white dwarfs in Gaia EDR3

N. P. Gentile Fusillo, P. -E. Tremblay, E. Cukanovaite +7

We present a catalogue of white dwarf candidates selected from Gaia early data release three (EDR3). We applied several selection criteria in absolute magnitude, colour, and Gaia q…

Constraining the solar neighbourhood age-metallicity relation from white dwarf-main sequence binaries

A. Rebassa-Mansergas, J. Maldonado, R. Raddi +11

The age-metallicity relation is a fundamental tool for constraining the chemical evolution of the Galactic disc. In this work we analyse the observational properties of this relati…

8.9-hr Rotation in the Partly Burnt Runaway Stellar Remnant LP 40-365 (GD 492)

J. J. Hermes, Odelia Putterman, Mark A. Hollands +5

We report the detection of 8.914-hr variability in both optical and ultraviolet light curves of LP 40-365 (also known as GD 492), the prototype for a class of partly burnt runaway…

Alkali metals in white dwarf atmospheres as tracers of ancient planetary crusts

Mark A. Hollands, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +2

White dwarfs that accrete the debris of tidally disrupted asteroids provide the opportunity to measure the bulk composition of the building blocks, or fragments, of exoplanets. Thi…

White dwarf pollution by hydrated planetary remnants: Hydrogen and Metals in WD J204713.76-125908.9

Matthew J. Hoskin, Odette Toloza, Boris T. Gänsicke +9

WD J204713.76-125908.9 is a new addition to the small class of white dwarfs with helium-dominated photospheres that exhibit strong Balmer absorption lines and atmospheric metal pol…
