Tidal breakup of cohesive rubble piles around white dwarfs imposes a 0.1-1 km maximum fragment size that sets the initial debris distribution and requires collisional grinding before Poynting-Robertson drag acts.
H-type objects in IC348 show spatial distributions matching stars and brown dwarfs, unlike the more dispersed distribution of simulated ejected planets, indicating a star-like formation origin.
