    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD_1145+017

    The supposed planetesimal, WD 1145+017 b, [13] with a 4.5 hour orbit, is being ripped apart by the star and is a remnant of the former planetary system that the star hosted before becoming a white dwarf. [8] [9] It is the first observation of a planetary object being shredded by a white dwarf. Several other large pieces have been seen in orbit ...

    About 6% of white dwarfs show infrared excess due to a disk around a white dwarf. [66] In the past only a relative small sample of white dwarf disks was known. [67] Due to advances in white dwarf detection (e.g. with Gaia or LAMOST) and improvement of WISE infrared catalogs with unWISE/CatWISE, the number has increased to hundreds of candidates.

    The red dwarf spirals inwards towards the core and might merge with the core. If this does not happen and instead the common envelope is ejected, then the binary ends up in a close orbit, consisting of a white dwarf and a red dwarf. This type of binary is called a post-common envelope binary.

    The white dwarf existed for 10.21 ±0.22 Gyrs, meaning the total age is 10.7 ±0.3 Gyrs. [1] Cold white dwarfs are often strongly affected by collision induced absorption (CIA) of hydrogen. This can lead to faint optical red and infrared brightness. These white dwarfs are also called IR-faint white dwarfs. WD J2147–4035 is however very red (r ...

    They usually contain a white dwarf with a companion red giant. The cool giant star loses material via Roche lobe overflow or through its stellar wind, which flows onto the hot compact star, usually via an accretion disk. Symbiotic binaries are of particular interest to astronomers as they can be used to learn about stellar evolution.

    SDSS 1557 (SDSS J155720.77+091624.6, WD 1554+094) is a binary system composed of a white dwarf and a brown dwarf.The system is surrounded by a circumbinary debris disk.The debris disk was formed when a minor planet was tidally disrupted around the white dwarf in the past.

    The second is a white dwarf with a mass of 0.34 M ☉, a likely radius of around 0.01 R ☉, and a likely temperature less than or equal to 25,200 K. These stars orbit each other at a distance of 1 AU about once every six months. The age of the system is 12.7 to 13 billion years old, making this one of the oldest binary stars known.
