Are Stars Really Ingesting Their Planets? Examining an Alternative Explanation by Nadine H. Soliman, Philip F. Hopkins

“…The width of the distributions increases with the incorporation of more detailed dust physics, such as radiation pressure and back-reaction forces, as well as with larger dust grain sizes and finer resolutions. Furthermore, our simulations reveal no correlation between Δ[X/H] and stellar separations, suggesting that dust-to-gas fluctuations likely occur on scales smaller than those of wide binaries. …”
