WD 0810-353 (UPM J0812-3529) is a white dwarf currently located 36 light-years (11 parsecs) from the Solar System. This stellar remnant may approach the Solar System 29,000 years from now at about 0.15 parsecs or 31,000 AU from the Sun, crossing well inside the Oort cloud.[3]

Observations

WD 0810-353 is a dim object with an apparent magnitude of 14.5[2] in the southern constellation of Puppis. Its motion perpendicular to the line of sight is considerable; it is consistently listed as a high proper motion star.[8]

Physical properties

WD 1810-353 is a white dwarf of spectral type DAH[2] with a very strong magnetic field, perhaps as strong as 30 MG.[2] It has a mass of 0.63 M and an age of 2.7 billion years;[2] its effective temperature is 6,093 K[2] or 6,273 K[9]. Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) gives a value of its radial velocity of −373.74±8.18 km/s which could be incorrect because the Gaia software pipeline does not include any template for white dwarfs.[10] Alternate analyses suggest a radial velocity as high as 4,248 km/s.[11]

Flyby

Considering the values from Gaia DR3, WD 1810-353 will traverse the Oort cloud, disturbing the population of comets there.[3] Both the minimum approach distance and the timing of this flyby depend strongly on the value of the radial velocity.[10] The Gaia DR3 mean BP/RP low-resolution spectrum suggests that WD 0810-353 could be a hypervelocity runaway white dwarf ejected during a type Ia supernova explosion.[11] Extensive analyses show that the relative velocity during the flyby could be high enough, or the minimum approach distance large enough, to prevent any significant perturbation on the Oort cloud.

Notes

  1. ^ This is the "cooling age", the length of time since the object became a white dwarf
