astro.wikisort.org - StarWD 1856+534 is a white dwarf located in the constellation of Draco. At a distance of about 25 parsecs (80 ly) from Earth, it is the outer component of a visual triple star system consisting of an inner pair of red dwarf stars. The white dwarf displays a featureless absorption spectrum, lacking strong optical absorption or emission features in its atmosphere. It has an effective temperature of 4,700 K (4,430 °C; 8,000 °F), corresponding to an age of approximately 5.8 billion years.[2] WD 1856+534 is approximately half as massive as the Sun, while its radius is much smaller, being 40% larger than Earth.[3]

Planetary system
The white dwarf is known to host one exoplanet, WD 1856b, in orbit around it. The exoplanet was detected through the transit method by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) between July and August 2019. An analysis of the transit data in 2020 revealed that it is a Jupiter-like giant planet with a radius over ten times that of Earth's, and orbits its host star closely at a distance of 0.02 astronomical units (AU), with an orbital period 60 times shorter than that of Mercury around the Sun. The unexpectedly close distance of the exoplanet to the white dwarf implies that it must have migrated inward after its host star evolved from a red giant to a white dwarf, otherwise it would have been engulfed by its star.[2] This migration may be related to the fact that WD 1856+534 belongs to a hierarchical triple-star system: the white dwarf and its planet are gravitationally bound to a distant companion, G 229-20, which itself is a binary system of two red dwarf stars.[2] Gravitational interactions with the companion stars may have triggered the planet's migration through the Lidov–Kozai mechanism[4][5][6] in a manner similar to some hot Jupiters. An alternative hypothesis is that the planet instead has survived a common envelope phase.[7] In the latter scenario, other planets engulfed before may have contributed to the expulsion of the stellar envelope.[8]
The planetary transmission spectrum is gray and featureless, likely because of the high level of hazes.[9]

[de] WD 1856+534
WD 1856+534 ist ein alter Weißer Zwerg im Sternbild Drache. Er befindet sich in einer Entfernung von etwa 80 Lichtjahren. Im Jahre 2020 wurden im System mithilfe von TESS erstmals klare Hinweise auf einen Exoplaneten entdeckt, welcher sich in der Umlaufbahn um einen Weißen Zwerg befindet. Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass der Planet sich schon immer dort befunden hat, da er an dieser Position wohl die Rote-Riesen-Phase des Zentralsterns nicht überstanden hätte.[4][5]
