Many stars harbour multi-planet systems. As these stars expand late in their evolution, the innermost planet may be engulfed, leading to a common envelope (CE) event. Even if this CE interaction is insufficient to eject the envelope, it may cause the star to expand further, leading to additional CE events, with the last one unbinding what remains of the envelope. This multi-planet CE scenario may have broad implications for stellar and planetary evolution across a range of systems. We develop a…

The recent discoveries of WD J091405.30+191412.25 (WD J0914 hereafter), a white dwarf (WD) likely accreting material from an ice-giant planet, and WD 1856+534 b (WD 1856 b hereafter), a Jupiter-sized…
WDΒ 1856Β b: a close giant planet around a white dwarf that could have survived a common envelope phase
The discovery of a giant planet candidate orbiting the white dwarf WD 1856+534 with an orbital period of 1.4 d poses the questions of how the planet reached its current position. We here reconstruct…
