Outline

Formation● Modelling the Origin of O2 in Comet 67P
Evolution● Herschel Observations of Non-Typical
Cometary Water Ortho-to-Para Ratios
Destruction● White Dwarf Planetary Debris Disks
Frequencies● Planetesimal Debris Disk Variation
Other projects I have worked on:Near-Earth Asteroids, Carbon-dominant white dwarfs, dwarf-Carbon stars.

Conclusions● The only unbiased Spitzer and Hubble single hydrogen dominated white dwarf
sample over a large temperature/age range.
● 3 out of 206 stars have an infrared excess, yielding a frequency of 1.5%, whereas 61 out of 130 stars have atmospheric metals, roughly 47%.
● A significant percentage of debris disks still remain unobserved via infrared excesses.
