First white dwarf with a planet WD B1620−26: 2003 PSR B1620-26 b (planet) This planet is a circumbinary planet, which circles both stars in the PSR B1620-26 system [5] [6] First singular white dwarf with a planet WD 1145+017: 2015 WD 1145+017 b: Planet is extremely small and is disintegrating. First white dwarf that is a pulsar: AR Scorpii A ...

White dwarf: HD 49798: 0.0023 0.023 0.25 1,600 km (990 mi) 2021 White dwarfs are stellar remnants produced when a star with around 8 solar masses or less sheds its outer layers into a planetary nebula. The leftover core becomes the white dwarf. It is thought that white dwarfs cool down over quadrillions of years to produce a black dwarf. [15]
White dwarfs with hydrogen-poor atmospheres, such as WD J2147–4035, are less affected by CIA and therefore have a yellow to orange color. [80] [77] The white dwarf cooling sequence seen by ESA's Gaia mission. White dwarf core material is a completely ionized plasma – a mixture of nuclei and electrons – that is

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 ...
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 ...
ZTF J0139+5245 (also known as J0139 and ZTF J013906.17+524536.89) is a white dwarf star approximately 564 light-years (172.9 pc) from Earth in the constellation of Perseus. [1] [2] It is the second white dwarf, after WD 1145+017, to be observed with transits indicative of orbiting planetary material.
