SUMMARY:A giant planet candidate transiting a white dwarf
DESCRIPTION:A giant planet candidate transiting a white dwarf\nDr. Felipe M
 urgas\n\nThe formation and evolution of planets in general is closely link
 ed to the life of their host star. What happens to the planetary systems a
 t the end stages of the life cycle of their star has been one of the quest
 ions that have received attention from a theoretical point of view but has
  had a lack of real life examples to study. Among more than 4000 known exo
 planets to date only a few of these objects have been found orbiting aroun
 d pulsars, but so far we have found nothing that resembles what our own so
 lar system will be like long after the Sun leaves the main sequence.In thi
 s talk we will discuss the recent announcement by A. Vanderburg et al. of 
 a giant planet candidate detected by the transit method orbiting around a 
 white dwarf. The candidate was discovered using data from the space-based 
 NASA mission TESS and confirmed using GTC, Spitzer, and other ground-based
  facilities. We will talk about the role that GTC played in this discovery
 , the peculiarity of this candidate system, and the possibility of detecti
 ng atmospheres in rocky planets orbiting around white dwarfs.\nZoom link:
