A "hot" white dwarf can have a surface temperature between 100,000 and 200,000 Kelvin (our Sun is only about 5,800 Kelvin). Because they are so hot, they emit massive amounts of ultraviolet radiation and X-rays. This makes them fascinating targets for telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope or the GALEX mission.
Let’s clear up frequent errors:
WD 458 is solitary, so no Type Ia supernova is expected. However, if it were in a binary system (it is not), its hot temperature would make it a candidate double-detonation progenitor. The “hot” nature thus rules out certain binary evolution pathways, refining our search for Type Ia precursors. white dwarf 458 pdf hot
