List of planetary debris around white dwarfs

[edit]

About 6% of white dwarfs show infrared excess due to a disk around a white dwarf.[36] In the past only a relative small sample of white dwarf disks was known.[37] 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.[38][39][36] Therefore this list will be limited to disks with metal gas emission and notable systems.
