Planetary and brown dwarf companions to evolved stars have only recently been discovered. The aim of this conference is to discuss observational results and techniques as well as theoretical predictions for the formation and the fate of the orbiting substellar objects as well as for their impact on the evolution of the host stars. Supernova fall-back disks and planets around neutron stars shall also be discussed. Central to the conference is to explore the impact of new and upcoming space missions like Kepler, Gaia and PLATO for this emerging field.

The main topics of this workshop are:

  • Influence of planets on evolved stars
  • The fate of planets
  • The stability and habitability of planetary systems around evolved stars
  • Debris disks around white dwarfs
  • Planet formation around evolved stars
  • Detecting substellar objects around evolved stars
  • Substellar objects in binary stars
