Precise Stellar Age Constraints and Habitable Zone Evolution in Exoplanet Systems

Grace Henry, Ted von Hippel, Anna Childs

Accurate stellar ages are fundamental to interpreting the evolutionary histories of habitable zone (HZ) planets. Because stellar luminosity evolves over time, HZ boundaries migrate…

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…

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…

A Demonstration of Interstellar Navigation Using New Horizons

Tod R. Lauer, David H. Munro, John R. Spencer +51

As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft exits the Solar System bound for interstellar space, it has traveled so far that the nearest stars have shifted markedly from their positions seen…

The Morphology of Asteroidal Dust Around White Dwarf Stars: Optical and Near-infrared Pulsations in G29-38

T. von Hippel, J. Farihi, J. L. Provencal +20

More than 36 years have passed since the discovery of the infrared excess from circumstellar dust orbiting the white dwarf G29-38, which at 17.5 pc it is the nearest and brightest…

Goodbye to Chi-by-Eye: A Bayesian Analysis of Photometric Binaries in Six Open Clusters

Anna C. Childs, Aaron M. Geller, Ted von Hippel +2

We present a robust methodology for identifying photometric binaries in star clusters. Using Gaia DR3, Pan-STARRS and 2MASS data, we self-consistently define the cluster parameters…
