Tracing outer planetary systems through white dwarf pollution in wide binaries
Carolina Lizana-Vidal, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Laura K. Rogers +5
White dwarf (WD) atmospheric metal pollution provides strong evidence for the presence of remnant planetary material and it can be used as an indirect tracer of outer planetary sys…
First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs
Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43
The paper analyzes 12 highly metal‑rich white dwarfs from DESI DR1, measuring their photospheric metal abundances to infer the bulk composition of the accreted planetary debris, wh…
Spectroscopic Monitoring of Metal Lines in Polluted White Dwarfs
Laura K. Rogers, Michael M. Shara, Amy Bonsor +12
The disruption and accretion of planetary material onto white dwarfs is expected to be inherently dynamic and stochastic, potentially driving variability in the accretion rate and…
White dwarf planetary systems in the ultraviolet
Jamie Williams, Amy Bonsor, Boris Gänsicke +9
Almost every known planet host will evolve into a white dwarf, and the surviving planetary material will continue to orbit this stellar remnant. Asteroids perturbed onto star-grazi…
From Hubble to HWO: Bridging the Frontier of White Dwarf Exoplanet Science
Laura K. Rogers, Siyi Xu, Martin Barstow +20
White dwarf stars, the endpoint of stellar evolution for 97% of stars in our Milky Way, offer a unique and powerful window into the bulk elemental composition of rocky exoplanetary…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XIV: A Comoving-Based Age Constraint for KELT-20
Adam Distler, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew W. Mann +9
Young stellar moving groups offer unique opportunities to investigate the early evolution of stellar and planetary systems. In continuation of an ongoing effort to age-date compell…
