   I can't point to any.   
      
   Buuut we can google over site:perrypedia.de for "weißer Zwerg"...   
      
   #740 has a single planet around a white dwarf   
   #1275 has a planetary system around a white dwarf   
   #2822+ has a ring world around a white dwarf   
   #2993 has a planetary system around a white sun   
      
   ... or "weiße Zwerg", "weißen Zwerg" (the wonders of German adjective   
   declension).   
      
   There are also a few hits from the _Atlan_ spin-off series and the   
   non-canonical _Planetenromane_ paperbacks.
