Increased Surface Temperatures of Habitable White Dwarf Worlds Relative to Main-Sequence Exoplanets
A 3D climate model shows a synchronously rotating planet in a white dwarf habitable zone is about 25 K warmer than an equivalent planet orbiting a similar-temperature K-dwarf, because fast rotation reduces dayside cloud cover.
