A Candidate Giant Planet Companion to the Massive, Young White Dwarf GALEX J071816.4+373139 Informs the Occurrence of Giant Planets Orbiting B Stars

It has been suggested that giant planet occurrence peaks for stars with M _*  ≈ 3 M _⊙ at a value a factor of 4 higher than observed for solar-mass stars. This population of giant planets predicted to frequently orbit main-sequence B stars at a  ≈ 10 au is difficult to characterize during the few hu...
