Polluted white dwarfs reveal exotic mantle rock types on exoplanets in our solar neighborhood
Prior studies have hypothesized that some polluted white dwarfs record continent-like granitic crust—which is abundant on Earth and perhaps uniquely indicative of plate tectonics. But these inferences derive from only a few elements, none of which define rock type. We thus present the first estimate...
