A Spitzer Search for Infrared Excesses around Massive Young White Dwarfs
We examine 14 hot white dwarfs for signs of infrared excess using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Twelve of the objects are massive white dwarfs which have been suggested to be the result of binary mergers. The remaining two objects are undermassive white dwarfs which again may be the result of mergers or the inspiral of a substellar companion. In no case do we find any evidence for significant in...
متن کاملDisks and Planets around Massive White Dwarfs
We predict the existence of dusty disks and possibly CO planets around massive white dwarfs. We show that the thermal emission from these disks should be detectable in the infrared. The planets may also be detectable either by direct IR imaging, spectroscopy, or using the pulsations of the white dwarfs. Subject headings: white dwarfs—stars: planetary systems—accretion disks
متن کاملImaging planets around nearby white dwarfs
We suggest that Jovian planets will survive the late stages of stellar evolution, and that white dwarfs will retain planetary systems in wide orbits (∼ 5 AU). Utilising evolutionary models for Jovian planets, we show that infra-red imaging with 8m class telescopes of suitable nearby white dwarfs should allow us to resolve and detect companions ∼ 3MJUP. Detection of massive planetary companions ...
متن کاملThe Nature of Mid-Infrared Excesses From Hot Dust Around Sun-like Stars
Aims. Studies of the debris disk phenomenon have shown that most systems are analogous to the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt (EKB). However a rare subset of sun-like stars possess dust which lies, in contrast, in the terrestrial planet region. In this study we aim to determine how many sources with apparent mid-infrared excess are truly hosts of warm dust, and investigate where the dust in these
متن کاملElement abundances in cool white dwarfs I .
The standard explanation for the presence of photospheric metals in white dwarfs of spectral type DZ and related types is a combination of episodic accretion from the interstellar medium and diffusion of heavy elements downwards in the atmosphere on time scales of typically 106 years. Much of the empirical data on atmospheric parameters and element abundances available in the literature is base...
