New ZZ Ceti Star: SDSSJ223726.86-010110.9 1. Location • Stripe 82 ➔ 22h 24m < αJ2000 < 04h 08m; -1.27o < δJ2000 < 1.27o, ≈ 290deg2 2. Variability ∙ Minimum of 4 distinct-epoch imaging ∙ Distribution of multi-epoch photometric errors is Gaussian ∙ χ2 ≈ 1 for non-variable objects ∙ χ2 ≥ 3 for variable objects 3. Pulsation Properties One millimodulation amplitude (mma) corresponds to a 0.1% change in intensity. Michael A. Wolfe, STScI
The non-sinusoidal light curve implies that this DAV is useful in studying convection in WDs. Michael A. Wolfe, STScI
