Discovery of a new PG 1159 (GW Vir) pulsator

We report the discovery of pulsations in the spectroscopic PG 1159 type pre-white dwarf SDSS J075415.12 + 085232.18. Analysis of the spectrum by Werner et al. indicated T<SUB>eff</SUB> = 120 000 ± 10 000 K, log <i>g</i> = 7.0 ± 0.3, mass M = 0.52 ± 0.02M⊙, C/He = 0.33 by numb...

Sumario:We report the discovery of pulsations in the spectroscopic PG 1159 type pre-white dwarf SDSS J075415.12 + 085232.18. Analysis of the spectrum by Werner et al. indicated T<SUB>eff</SUB> = 120 000 ± 10 000 K, log <i>g</i> = 7.0 ± 0.3, mass M = 0.52 ± 0.02M⊙, C/He = 0.33 by number. We obtained time series images with the SOAR 4.1 m telescope and 2.1 m Otto Struve telescope at McDonald Observatory and show the star is also a variable PG 1159 type star, with dominant period of 525 s.
