Habitable planet around a binary brown and white dwarf system
+0

Brown and white dwarf stars are thought to have habitable zones but are very close orbits. Plus these planets will experience strong tidal forces and be tidally locked. But if you have a large Earth, maybe twice as large as Earth, around a brown dwarf but is outside but close to the habitable zone. And the brown dwarf is captured by a white dwarf but also just outside it's habitable zone. Can the combination allow the planet to be habitable? What issues would arise?
