Finding and characterizing the youngest exoplanets Abstract: Observing and characterizing newly-formed planets around young stars is fundamental for developing planet formation and evolution theory. In this talk, I will present results of an infrared...

The precessing gas rings around WD1145+017 Abstract: Approximately 30% of white dwarfs are polluted by metals, the result of accretion onto the stellar surface by rocky bodies that have been tidally disrupted. These systems thus offer a direct window onto...
