How Many Planets Will We Find Around White Dwarfs?
We know that white dwarfs have planets, but there are very few that we have detected directly. An upcoming survey may change that.

With the launch of TESS, we will soon have many more exoplanet candidates. But how do we determine which are the most valuable for follow-up observations?
Is it an exoplanet… or is it stellar activity in disguise? In today’s astrobite, we explore the stellar activity for a survey of M-Dwarfs, to help us distinguish signals of M-Dwarf stellar activity from the signals of the exoplanets that may be orbiting them.
The universe is filled with tiny, faint dwarf galaxies. The authors of this paper are on the hunt for them.
The authors of today’s paper take us on a treasure hunt of baby massive stars, come join us!
