A phantom reference lets you do final touch up closing on an object, even after it has been declared dead — no longer referenced by any live object.

During garbage collection, these reference objects are handled specially; that is, the referent field is not traced during the marking phase. When marking is complete, the references are processed in sequence for sweeping phase.
