Dimitri Veras

I am an astrophysicist who researches the contents of planetary systems (including our own solar system) in a wide variety of contexts, across both time and space. I have published academic articles about forming, destroying and evolving planets, asteroids, moons and comets while they interact with their parent star or stars. I am also Editor-in-Chief of the journal Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical AstronomyLink opens in a new window, the journal of record in this field since 1969.

You can view (or listen toLink opens in a new window) some media attention regarding different aspects of my work from BBC NewsLink opens in a new window, BBC Sky at Night MagazineLink opens in a new window, BBC Science FocusLink opens in a new window, The IndependentLink opens in a new window, National Geographic 1Link opens in a new window, National Geographic 2Link opens in a new window, The Conversation 1Link opens in a new window, The Conversation 2Link opens in a new window, ForbesLink opens in a new window, Physics TodayLink opens in a new window, New Scientist 1Link opens in a new window, New Scientist 2Link opens in a new window, New Scientist 3Link opens in a new window, Huffington PostLink opens in a new window, Universe TodayLink opens in a new window, Astronomy NowLink opens in a new window, The Daily MailLink opens in a new window, and USA TodayLink opens in a new window.

My most significant current research focus is on the **future and fate** of extrasolar asteroids, comets, moons and planets: how they traverse the violent giant branch stellar evolution phases and "pollute" these stars after they become "white dwarfs". The Sun will become a giant branch star and then white dwarf, and might very well be polluted by asteroids, comets or even planets such as the Earth!

The fate of a planetary system as the host star becomes a violent giant branch star and then a dense ember known as a white dwarf. Artistry © Mark A.

I am a senior version of an Associate Professor, formally known in the UK as a "Reader", working in the exoplanet, white dwarf, disc-based and space satellites/astrodynamics research groups here at the University of Warwick; my current PhD student is Rafael Martinez-BrunnerLink opens in a new window. I am also a member of the University of Warwick's Centre for Exoplanets and HabitabilityLink opens in a new window and the University of Warwick's Centre for Space Domain AwarenessLink opens in a new window. My biography includes postdoctoral research appointments at the University of CambridgeLink opens in a new window and University of FloridaLink opens in a new window. I obtained my PhD at the University of Colorado at BoulderLink opens in a new window, and my Bachelor's degree at Yale UniversityLink opens in a new window.

Prospective PhD students:

----For topics related to the physical, dynamical or chemical properties of asteroids, planets or discs orbiting violent giant branch stars and white dwarfs, I currently am not able to fund any more PhD students. Please note that these projects are simulation-based, theory-based and analytics-based; see my papers below before getting in touch at [dimitri.veras (at) aya.yale.edu].

In addition to research, I have a keen interest in maps, and have created an Astronomy Map of the WorldLink opens in a new window containing 753 institutes, as well as a map of the UK Astronomical SocietiesLink opens in a new window.

Please click on the titles of the papers below to obtain pre-published drafts. Highlights include three invited review papers that help summarize the field of exoplanetary system fates covering: (1) all aspects of the evolution and delivery of rocky extra-solar materials to white dwarfsLink opens in a new window up until 2024, (2) all aspects of planetary systems around white dwarfsLink opens in a new window up until 2021, and (3) all theoretical work on giant branch, white dwarf and pulsar planetary systemsLink opens in a new window up until 2016. Also, for a shorter, more publicly accessible read, see my Nature Astronomy News & ViewsLink opens in a new window summary which links the fate of planetary systems to the popular interstellar interloper ‘Oumuamua.
