摘要
We report the discovery of a nearby massive white dwarf with He-H atmosphere. The white dwarf is located at a distance of 74.5 +/- 0.9 pc. Its radius, mass, effective temperature, H/He ratio, and age are R = 2500 +/- 100 km, M = 1.33 +/- 0.01M(circle dot), T-eff = 31 200 +/- 1200 K, H/He similar to 0.1, and 330 +/- 40 Myr, respectively. The observed spectrum is redshifted by V-r =+240 +/- 15 km s(-1), which is mostly attributed to the gravitational redshift. The white dwarf shows a regular stable photometric variability with amplitude Delta g approximate to 0.06(m) and period P = 353.456 s suggesting rapid rotation. This massive, hot, and rapidly rotating white dwarf is likely to originate from the merging of close binary white dwarf system that avoided explosion in a thermonuclear Type Ia supernova.
