Circumstellar debris and pollution at white dwarf stars

J Farihi - New Astronomy Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
Circumstellar disks of planetary debris are now known or suspected to closely orbit
hundreds of white dwarf stars. To date, both data and theory support disks that are entirely …

Bridging the gap between protoplanetary and debris disks: separate evolution of millimeter and micrometer-sized dust

A Michel, N van der Marel… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The connection between the nature of a protoplanetary disk and that of a debris disk is not
well understood. Dust evolution, planet formation, and disk dissipation likely play a role in …

Probing for exoplanets hiding in dusty debris disks: disk imaging, characterization, and exploration with HST/STIS multi-roll coronagraphy

G Schneider, CA Grady, DC Hines… - The Astronomical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Spatially resolved scattered-light images of circumstellar debris in exoplanetary systems
constrain the physical properties and orbits of the dust particles in these systems. They also …

HD 106906 b: a planetary-mass companion outside a massive debris disk

V Bailey, T Meshkat, M Reiter, K Morzinski… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery of a planetary-mass companion, HD 106906 b, with the new
Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO)+ Clio2 system. The companion is detected with Clio2 in …

Planet populations inferred from debris discs-Insights from 178 debris systems in the ISPY, LEECH, and LIStEN planet-hunting surveys

TD Pearce, R Launhardt, R Ostermann… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
We know little about the outermost exoplanets in planetary systems because our detection
methods are insensitive to moderate-mass planets on wide orbits. However, debris discs …

Analysis of the Herschel DEBRIS Sun-like star sample

B Sibthorpe, GM Kennedy, MC Wyatt… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
This paper presents a study of circumstellar debris around Sun-like stars using data from the
Herschel DEBRIS Key Programme. DEBRIS is an unbiased survey comprising the nearest∼ …

Binarity in carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars

E Starkenburg, MD Shetrone… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
A substantial fraction of the lowest metallicity stars show very high enhancements in carbon.
It is debated whether these enhancements reflect the stars' birth composition, or if their …

SONS: The JCMT legacy survey of debris discs in the submillimetre

WS Holland, BC Matthews, GM Kennedy… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Debris discs are evidence of the ongoing destructive collisions between planetesimals, and
their presence around stars also suggests that planets exist in these systems. In this paper …
