Revealing a Main-sequence Star that Consumed a Planet with JWST

Revealing a Main-sequence Star that Consumed a Planet with JWST

The subluminous red nova (SLRN) Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) SLRN-2020 is the most compelling direct detection of a planet being consumed by its host star, a scenario known as a planetary engulfment event. We present JWST spectroscopy of ZTF SLRN-2020 taken +830 days after its optical emission pe...
