Analyzing all 120 s and 20 s light curves obtained by the TESS satellite up to Sector 69 - the end of the fifth year of observations - for all known white dwarfs and white dwarf candidates up to G=17.5 mag, we report the discovery of 32 new pulsating DA white dwarf stars. For all objects, we obtained the period spectra and performed a seismological analysis using full evolutionary models to estimate the structural parameters, such as effective temperature, stellar mass, and hydrogen envelope mass. The median stellar mass for the pulsators from asteroseismology is 0.609 Msun, in agreement with the median value from photometric and spectroscopic determinations, 0.602 Msun, excluding the low and extremely-low mass objects. Finally, we found rotational-splitting multiplets for 9 stars, which led to rotation periods between 4 h and 1 d.

  1. Discovery of the richest pulsating ultra-massive white dwarf

    astro-ph.SR 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    WD J0135+5722 is a newly discovered pulsating ultra-massive white dwarf with 19 detected modes, making it the richest such pulsator known.

  2. 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 of 10

    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.

  3. Minute-cadence observations on Galactic plane with Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Overview, methodology and early results

    astro-ph.SR 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    WFST's 13 hours of one-minute-cadence Galactic plane data yield dozens of periodic variables and flares, including a faint ZZ Ceti pulsator and a candidate variable hot white dwarf.

  4. Selected Results on Variable Stars Observed by TESS

    astro-ph.SR 2025-09 unverdicted

    A curated review of TESS-era results across the major classes of variable stars, with illustrative light curves, but with no new observational or theoretical result.
