    Hot white dwarfs and pre-white dwarfs discovered with SALT
    (Oxford University Press, 2023) Jeffery, C. Simon; Werner, K.; Kilkenny, Dave
    The Southern African Large Telescope survey of helium-rich hot subdwarfs aims to explore evolutionary pathways among groups of highly evolved stars. The selection criteria mean that several hot white dwarfs and related objects have also been included. This paper reports the discovery and analysis of eight new very hot white dwarf and pre-white dwarf stars with effective temperatures exceeding 100 000 K. They include two PG1159 stars, one DO white dwarf, three O(He), and two O(H) stars.
