WD0141-675: A case study on how to follow-up astrometric planet candidates around white dwarfs

Published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2024

This work demonstrates how combining astrometric data with spectroscopic and photometric data is crucial to confirm and characterise astrometric planet candidates around white dwarfs.

The plausibility of origins scenarios requiring two impactors

Submitted to: Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2024

In this work, we consider the bombardment of the early-Earth, and quantitatively evaluate the likelihood of origins scenarios that invoke double impacts.
