Tidal breakup of cohesive rubble piles around white dwarfs imposes a 0.1-1 km maximum fragment size that sets the initial debris distribution and requires collisional grinding before Poynting-Robertson drag acts.
The paper advocates preserving HST UV spectroscopy through 2035 as essential for statistically significant samples of polluted white dwarf compositions, groundwork for HWO, and synergy with JWST.
