Scientific paper

The WISE IR Excesses around Degenerates (WIRED) Survey is designed to find low mass companions and dusty disks around white dwarfs using NASA's Wide-field Infared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. WISE has finished scanning the entire sky, and we have currently cross-correlated the SDSS DR4 white dwarf catalogue with 2MASS, UKIDSS, and WISE photometry to identify candidate excess sources. We show the expected sensitivity level of the WIRED Survey to white dwarfs with dust and/or low mass companions, and present two candidate WISE detections.
