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

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...
