Metal pollution in Sun-like stars from destruction of ultra-short-period planets
CE O'Connor, D Lai - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.11935, 2024 - arxiv.org
Chemical evidence indicates that an appreciable fraction of Sun-like stars have engulfed
rocky planets during their main-sequence lifetimes. We investigate whether the tidal …

The Compositions of Rocky Planets in Close-in Orbits Tend to be Earth-Like
Hundreds of exoplanets between 1-1.8 times the size of the Earth have been discovered on
close in orbits. However, these planets show such a diversity in densities that some appear …

An Eccentric Binary with a Misaligned Circumbinary Disk
We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of Bernhard-2, which was
previously identified as a candidate system to host a misaligned circumbinary disk. Our …
