The Influence of Tidal Heating on the Habitability of Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs

In recent years, there have been a growing number of observations indicating the presence of rocky material in short-period orbits around white dwarfs. In this Letter, we revisit the prospects for habitability around these post-main-sequence star systems. In addition to the typically considered radi...
