Reply to comment by lughnasadh in Astronomers have outlined how the JWST may be able to detect the biosignatures of extraterrestrial life in Earth sized planets orbiting the 15 nearest White Dwarf stars. by lughnasadh

Wouldn't the orbits of any planets that would be in the habitable zone of a white dwarf had been within the radius of it during it's red giant phase? That would leave only the native planets that somehow migrated inward or where captured from elsewhere.
