We present mid-infrared photometry of 124 white dwarf stars with SpitzerSpace Telescope. Objects were observed simultaneously at 4.5 and 8.0um withsensitivities better than 1 mJy. This data can be used to test models of whitedwarf atmospheres in a new wavelength regime, as well as to search forplanetary companions and debris disks.Comment: 24 pages.
