The Chemical Composition of an Extrasolar Minor Planet

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative abundances of 17 elements in the atmosphere of the white dwarf star GD 362, material that, very probably, was contained previously in a large asteroid or asteroids with composition similar to the Earth-Moon system, were reported.
