BPM 37093 (V886 Centauri) is a variable white dwarf star of the DAV or ZZ Ceti type with a hydrogen atmosphere and an unusually high mass of approximately 1.1 times the Sun’s. It is about 50 light-years from Earth in the constellation Centaurus and vibrates; these pulsations cause its luminosity to vary.
