The Giant Nature Of WD 1856 b Implies That Transiting Rocky Planets Are Rare Around White Dwarfs
White dwarfs (WDs) have roughly Earth-sized radii – a fact long recognized to facilitate the potential discovery of sub-Earth sized planets via transits, as well atmospheric characterization including biosignatures.
