The faith of a giant planet atmosphere around a white dwarf
In this talk, I will explore the response of a giant planet’s atmosphere to the incoming XUV radiation from a white dwarf, focusing on the WD J0914+1914 system. An exoplanet has been inferred in this system through spectroscopic observations of a gaseous disc around the star, which may be the result of material loss from the planet’s atmosphere. I will present the results from hydrodynamical simulations to assess the evidence for the existence of the proposed planet.
