Journal Article
Jeffries. (2015). The Gaia-ESO Survey: chemical signatures of rocky accretion in a young solar-type star. Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201526896

It is well known that newly formed planetary systems undergo processes of orbital reconfiguration and planetary migration. As a result, planets or protoplanetary objects may accrete onto the central star, being fused and mixed into its external layer...
