We report the detection of periodic variations on the T_eff ~32 000 K DA white dwarf star HE 1017-1352. We obtained time series photometry using the 4.1 m SOAR telescope on three separate nights for a total of 16.8 h. From the frequency analysis we found four periods of 605 s, 556 s, 508 s and 869 s with significant amplitudes above the 1/1000 false alarm probability detection limit. The detected modes are compatible with low harmonic degree g-mode non-radial pulsations with radial order higher than ~ 9. This detection confirms the pulsation nature of HE 1017-1352 and thus the existence of the new pulsating class of hot DA white dwarf stars. In addition, we detect a long period of 1.52 h, compatible with a rotation period of DA white dwarf stars.

  1. Observing bright pulsating white dwarfs with PLATO: A new window into the late stages of stellar evolution

    astro-ph.SR 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    PLATO should detect white-dwarf pulsation modes down to about 0.1 milli-magnitudes for bright targets, and the LOPS2 field contains 159 high-priority white-dwarf candidates for such measurements.
