The main reason I won't do my research without you is, that I'm really really bad at it: The white dwarf I'm "looking for" should burn its energy as slowly as possible. This process should go on for as long as possible. The whole ecosystem stayed roughly the same and just this one species gets replaced every few 100'000 years. At the same time my species is one of many thousand similar ones that lived on that planet one after another. The time between humanity and my alien species should feel like an eternity. The reason I need the star for such a long time is, that I want to communicate how unlikely it is that an intelligent alien species similar to ours would evolve. The main reason I chose it to be a white dwarf is that I read somewhere that these would take much longer to cool than a regular star, because they have a much smaller surface. My planet is small, has a thicker atmosphere than earth and it's orbiting a white dwarf.
