# TESS Program G011288 Title: Transiting Planets Around White Dwarfs With Tess PI: Kipping, David - Columbia University Type: N/A Summary: Most stars harbor exoplanets and end their lives as white dwarfs, yet we do not yet know if white dwarfs themselves host planets. Metal contaminated white dwarfs, evidence for disintegrating planetesimals and planets around pulsars all imply that planets may indeed be common around such stars. TESS will observe the SDSS fields where most white dwarfs have been detected, and thus is well-placed to conduct a survey for transiting planets. Simulating realistic light curves, we anticipate that TESS could discover several white dwarf planets in the Southern sky during its first year of operations. We propose to observe 3945 white dwarfs brighter than 18th magnitude and analyze the light curves for evidence of transiting planets (including disintegrating examples) from the TESS data set. # Sector 001 targets observed (42) 165110581,323.0867,-38.3364,16.0,G011281;G011288 197570382,325.9749,-37.8056,15.66,G011281;G011288 320965107,325.098,-36.6327,15.69,G011113;G011288 320965274,325.0953,-37.2377,12.41,G011177;G011288 320965407,325.0742,-37.7118,15.85,G011113;G011288 89398867,322.8777,-34.7126,14.48,G011281;G011288 152286180,329.4988,-33.5849,15.58,G011281;G011288 197614201,327.7702,-38.5257,16.21,G011281;G011288 197614266,327.8295,-38.7178,15.73,G011294;G011288 197693940,329.898,-39.2208,14.45,G011177;G011288 197732798,330.3995,-37.8717,13.72,G011113;G011288 204543760,327.2271,-35.5806,16.3,G011203;G011288 207082276,331.8671,-36.7253,15.32,G011113;G011288 214568914,340.8004,-36.3439,15.34,G011281;G011288 214873843,341.7231,-38.9479,16.26,G011113;G011288 229037897,330.007,-33.2136,15.7,G011113;G011288 253932935,339.1193,-35.8526,15.71,G011177;G011288 270565368,329.0909,-34.3382,14.09,G011113;G011288 278803981,336.2354,-37.3918,15.28,G011281;G011288 393941149,338.295,-39.7448,14.52,G011177;G011288 471013572,334.4414,-37.4286,15.9,G011113;G011288 70451188,340.0702,-34.058,13.98,G011177;G011288 152251299,328.7225,-30.4885,15.16,G011113;G011294;G011288 206409213,330.3082,-22.1209,15.02,G011113;G011288 206462125,330.8136,-21.6646,15.43,G011281;G011288 206482194,331.6224,-21.9332,15.01,G011281;G011288 206498138,332.1721,-19.6276,14.97,G011281;G011288 206537232,332.9071,-22.9188,14.68,G011113;G011288 209397773,325.6409,-29.8166,12.4,G011177;G011288 25136499,325.9955,-23.4869,14.22,G011281;G011288 25137423,326.1067,-21.775,14.81,G011281;G011288 25245547,327.2482,-21.8839,15.58,G011281;G011288;G011288 25245570,327.2564,-21.9304,14.83,G011177;G011288 25300088,327.8045,-21.1179,13.36,G011281;G011288 326328277,325.445,-21.7337,14.64,G011281;G011288;G011288 393891914,330.6614,-28.1617,15.59,G011113;G011288 421951567,329.835,-20.9462,13.7,G011177;G011288 441078296,323.2311,-23.9895,13.4,G011281;G011288;G011288 441197076,335.3502,-26.8481,14.79,G011113;G011294;G011288 471013571,333.8113,-27.7067,15.9,G011113;G011294;G011288 53851007,327.9157,-28.9488,15.92,G011113;G011288 53939726,328.5917,-23.9998,14.89,G011281;G011288 #
