Spitzer Observations of GD 362 and Other Metal-Rich White Dwarfs
  A {\em Spitzer} IRAC survey of 17 nearby metal-rich white dwarfs, nominally DAZ stars, reveals excess emission from only 3 targets: G29-38, GD 362 and G167-8. Observations of GD 362 with all three {\em Spitzer} instruments reveals a warm ($\approx1000$ K) dust continuum, very strong silicate emission, and the likely presence of cooler ($\approx500$ K) dust. While there is a general similarity between the mid-infrared spectral energy distributions of G29-38 and GD 362, the IRAC fluxes of G167-8 are so far unique among white dwarfs. However, further observations of G167-8 are required before the measured excess can be definitely associated with the white dwarf.
