Metal Pollution in Sun-like Stars from Destruction of Ultra–short-period Planets
Chemical evidence indicates that an appreciable fraction of Sun-like stars have engulfed rocky planets during their main-sequence lifetimes. We investigate whether the tidal evolution and destruction of ultra–short-period planets (USPs) can explain this phenomenon. We develop a simple parameterized...
