Multiwavelength Transit Observations of the Candidate Disintegrating Planetesimals Orbiting WD 1145+017

Multiwavelength Transit Observations of the Candidate Disintegrating Planetesimals Orbiting WD 1145+017

We present multiwavelength, ground-based follow-up photometry of the white dwarf WD 1145+017, which has recently been suggested to be orbited by up to six or more short-period, low-mass, disintegrating planetesimals. We detect nine significant dips in flux of between 10% and 30% of the stellar flux...
