Abstract

We predict the existence of dusty disks and possibly CO planets around massive white dwarfs. We show that the thermal emission from these disks should be detectable in the infrared. The planets may also be detectable either by direct infrared imaging, spectroscopy, or using the pulsations of the white dwarfs.
