Using 3.4 μm Variability toward White Dwarfs as a Signpost of Remnant Planetary Systems

Using 3.4 μm Variability toward White Dwarfs as a Signpost of Remnant Planetary Systems

Roughly 2% of white dwarfs harbor planetary debris disks detectable via infrared excesses, but only a few percent of these disks show a gaseous component, distinguished by their double-peaked emission at the near-infrared calcium triplet. Previous studies found that most debris disks around white dw...
