Table 3
Distribution of asteroid outcomes and planetary protection fractions for different WD mass estimates.
| WD mass | Source | Planet mass | Population | Protection | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MWD [M⊙] | mp [MJup] | FEjected-OR | FEjected-IR | FBound | FCollide | FCrash | FProtection | |
| 0.518 | Vanderburg et al. (2020) | 13.8 | 12.0% | 69.4% | 1.0% | 6.8% | 10.8% | 92.2% |
| 0.576 | Xu et al. (2021) | 13.8 | 12.1% | 70.5% | 0.9% | 6.5% | 10.0% | 92.6% |
| 0.605 | Limbach et al. (2025)* | 13.8 | 12.0% | 71.1% | 0.5% | 6.8% | 9.6% | 92.7% |
| 0.518 | Vanderburg et al. (2020) | 5 | 5.5% | 77.9% | 2.2% | 2.1% | 12.3% | 95.7% |
| 0.576 | Xu et al. (2021) | 5 | 4.7% | 78.1% | 2.7% | 1.9% | 12.6% | 95.4% |
| 0.605 | Limbach et al. (2025) | 5 | 4.2% | 77.2% | 2.6% | 1.9% | 14.1% | 95.5% |
Notes. *While Limbach et al. (2025) constrained the planet mass to 5.2 MJup, we used a fixed set of planetary parameters for all entries in this table to isolate the effect of stellar mass. These values are intended for a sensitivity analysis rather than a direct fit to specific observations.
