A compositional link between rocky exoplanets and their host stars

V Adibekyan, C Dorn, SG Sousa, NC Santos, B Bitsch… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Stars and planets both form by accreting material from a surrounding disk. Because they
grow from the same material, theory predicts that there should be a relationship between …
