Lorenzo Spina

Algumas estrelas do mesmo tipo do sol devoram seus planetas. Descoberta liderada pelo Astrônomo @lorenzospina na Itália e o Prof. @DrJorgeMelendez no IAG-USP. Via @CuriosoNews: youtu.be/k-cFCIxxNHA

Look out - it’s the attack of the planet-eating #suns! Enter Lorenzo Spina from Italy’s Astronomical Observatory of Padua and colleagues. They studied the #chemical composition of over 100 pairs of #stars! #astronomy @lorenzospina lohdownonscience.com/planetary-diet/

#Radio 📻. Hoy en @PMovimiento de @RadioUNAM hablaré con @berenice_wav y @mquemain sobre #estrellas que comen #planetas. Basado en un artículo de @lorenzospina y colaboradores. 🔔. ¡No te lo pierdas! 🔔 [Crédito de la imagen: NASA/ESA/G. Bacon]

I'll give a review on "Planet Signatures on the Chemical Composition of Stars" at the @ESO workshop 'The Star-Planet Connection'. Registration until 20/September: eso.org/sci/meetings/2…

Il rapporto tra stella e pianeta è caratterizzato anche da eventi di "ingestione planetaria". Nella puntata di oggi del podcast ne parlo con @lorenzospina (@mediainaf - @MonashUni) che ha pubblicato uno studio su @NatureAstronomy sul tema. #astronomy open.spotify.com/episode/7fysTZ…

How much did accreted stars contribute to the build-up/shape of the Milky Way? We all found many accreted stars via their distinct orbits thanks to @ESAGaia. In our latest study (arxiv.org/abs/2109.04059), we identify/“tag” accreted stars via their chemistry with @galahsurvey. 1/5

Who knew that a quarter of Sun-like stars eat their own young? Incredible work by @lorenzospina (formerly @MonashAstro) & colleagues using @ESO #HARPS observations of more than 100 binary stars.

The second paper this week on planet engulfment in widely separated binaries! This time the 1st author is my former PhD student Jhon Yana Galarza @ramstojh. Look at the huge difference in lithium (1 dex) for twin stars (Δ temperature < 25 K). Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2109.00679

How are the so-called lithium-rich giants formed? A new @GaiaESO paper, recently accepted for publication in @AandA_journal, investigates this puzzle that has been bothering astronomers for almost 40 years now. See the pre-print at @_arXiv_astro_ph: arxiv.org/abs/2108.11677

@vandreans @DrJorgeMelendez 😃

@DrJorgeMelendez @lorenzospina Que gusto Jorge!!! Felicitaciones 😃

@adamspacemann @EricMamajek Thanks @adamspacemann ! I really enjoyed chatting with you and reading this piece

So much thanks to @lorenzospina for chatting about his team's research and @EricMamajek for excellent context!!

Dear editors: I am available to write news about stars that devour their own planets every single week sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/o…

@beckyferreira Amazing piece!!! Thanks @beckyferreira

Yet another reason to be grateful that we live in a fairly calm solar system: some 20 to 35% of Sun-like stars eat their planets. These acts of "planetary ingestion" could “drive a generational advancement in astrophysics” says a team led by @lorenzospina vice.com/en/article/wx5…

Astrônomos encontram estrelas que devoraram planetas. A pesquisa tem participação do Prof. @DrJorgeMelendez (IAG/USP). Estudo aponta que pelo menos uma em quatro estrelas semelhantes ao Sol engolem os planetas que as orbitam (via @futuroastronomo): futuroastronomo.com.br/ciencia-e-astr…

Read my latest #research on #stars eating #planets, published with @SpringerNature in @NatureAstronomy: rdcu.be/cwnaE

Pelo menos um quarto das #estrelas semelhantes ao Sol canibalizam #planetas que as orbitam, indica estudo internacional que acaba de ser divulgado em @NatureAstronomy. O trabalho tem participação do @DrJorgeMelendez, do #IAGUSP @AstroUSP. agencia.fapesp.br/36711/

A quarter of Sun-like stars in binary systems show evidence of having devoured their planetary progeny, say @lorenzospina et al. nature.com/articles/s4155…
