Discovery of the Richest Pulsating Ultramassive White Dwarf by Francisco C. De Gerónimo, Murat Uzundag, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas, Alex Brown, Mukremin Kilic, Alejandro H. Córsico, Gracyn C. Jewett, Adam G. Moss

“…This object exhibits multiperiodic luminosity variations with periods ranging from 137 to 1345 s, typical of pulsating WDs in the ZZ Ceti instability strip, which is centered at T _eff  ∼ 12,000 K. We estimate the stellar mass of WD J0135+5722 by different methods, resulting in M _⋆  ∼ 1.12–1.14 M _⊙ if the star’s core is made of oxygen and neon or M _⋆  ∼ 1.14–1.15 M _⊙ if the star hosts a carbon oxygen core. …”
