On the formation, evolution, and destruction of minor planetary bodies.
Thomas WilsonJonathan Rawling, Jay Farihi, Bruce Swinyard (UCL)

Outline
2
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.
