We predict the existence of dusty disks and possibly CO planets around
massive white dwarfs. We show that the thermal emission from these disks should
be detectable in the infrared. The planets may also be detectable either by
direct IR imaging, spectroscopy, or using the pulsations of the white dwarfs.
