Dust disk models fit to 10 and 15 μm excess detections for WD 0644+025. The N. P. Ballering et al. (2022) disk model requires 1.1 × 1018 g of material in 1–104 μm particles and is located between 0.86 and 1.29 R. The intermediate disk model requires 1.3 × 1019 g of material in 1–104 μm particles and is located between 4.3 and 4.7 R. The distant disk model is located between 645 and 710 R and has a mass of 1.6 × 1028 g of material. The planet model describes a 6.8MJup, 260 K planet at the same age as the white dwarf.
