Dynamical Evolution of White Dwarfs in Triples in the Era of Gaia

The Gaia mission has detected many white dwarfs (WDs) in binary and triple configurations, and while observations suggest that triple-stellar systems are common in our Galaxy, not much attention was devoted to WDs in triples. For stability reasons, these triples must have hierarchical configurations...
