Maybe the white dwarf captures a rogue planet? The planet doesn't need to be from the star's original accretion disk.

- cyberax 2y agoYou can't capture a body with only a two-body interaction. You need at least 3 bodies for that. I guess a star with a Jupiter-class planet that survived the red giant phase might qualify. But then the conditions will have to be just right for the captured planet to end up near the star.
