Title:Monitoring Circumstellar Gas around a White Dwarf
PI:Siyi Xu
Co-I(s): Laura Rogers

Abstract

Planetary systems are common around white dwarfs, with the detection of debris disks, atmospheric pollution, and transiting asteroids/planets. Our team recently identified a hot white dwarf that displays numerous circumstellar emission lines. We request some time with Gemini/GMOS to monitor these lines to understand the long term evolution of the system.
