The correlation between metallicity and debris disk mass

A Gáspár, GH Rieke, N Ballering - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We find that the initial dust masses in planetary debris disks are correlated with the
metallicities of their central stars. We compiled a large sample of systems, including Spitzer …

compiling publications in which abundances of metals are provided. Our catalogue includes …

MMT hypervelocity star survey

WR Brown, MJ Geller, SJ Kenyon - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe a new survey for unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs), stars traveling with such
extreme velocities that dynamical ejection from a massive black hole is their most likely …
