Abstract
Although "traditionally" observed at short wavelengths, white dwarfs have displayed many surprising features when probed in the infrared. We present an overview of recent results from ground- and space-based near- to mid-infrared observations of white dwarfs. These include the discovery of many new candidate binary stars containing low mass stellar or sub-stellar companions from a sample of objects previously thought to be single white dwarfs, and Spitzer Space Telescope observations that suggest that dust is common in the environs of white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables.

This research was carried out, in part, at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology (CIT), and was sponsored by NASA through the Spitzer and Michelson Science Centers. Support for HST program number 10255 was provided by NASA through a grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS5-26555. Additional support was provided by NASA through a grant from the Astrophysics Data Program. We used data products from 2MASS, which is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/CIT, funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation.Attached Files
