The MIRI Excess around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey II: A Probable Planet detected via IR Excess around WD 0644+025

Sabrina Poulsen, John Debes, Ashley Messier +14

The MIRI Excess Around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey is a cycle 2 JWST program designed to image nearby white dwarfs with MIRI at 10 and 15 microns. This survey targeted 56 white dwarf…

Follow-up Observations of Candidate White Dwarf Planets with MIRI

Fergal Mullally, Susan E. Mullally, Misty Cracraft +6

We report on second-epoch imaging of two candidate planet-hosting white dwarfs stars, WD2105-82 and WD1202-232. Both stars showed evidence of resolved, planet-mass candidate compan…

The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176

Loïc Albert, Sabrina R. Poulsen, Érika Le Bourdais +17

The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging…

Composition of planetary debris around the white dwarf GD 362

William T. Reach, Mukremin Kilic, Carey M. Lisse +9

White dwarf stars with high abundances of heavy elements in their atmospheres and infrared excesses are believed to be accreting planetary material. GD 362 is one of the most heavi…

Metal Polluted White Dwarfs with 21 μm IR excesses from JWST/MIRI: Planets or Dust?

John H. Debes, Sabrina Poulsen, Ashley Messier +13

White dwarfs with metal pollution are caused by the accretion of rocky dust from tidally disrupted minor bodies and are signposts for planetary systems. These minor bodies are pert…

JWST Directly Images Giant Planet Candidates Around Two Metal-Polluted White Dwarf Stars

Susan E. Mullally, John Debes, Misty Cracraft +9

We report the discovery of two directly imaged, giant planet candidates orbiting the metal-rich DAZ white dwarfs WD 1202-232 and WD 2105-82. JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) d…
