====Pulsating white dwarfs==== {{Main|Pulsating white dwarf}} These non-radially pulsating stars have short periods of hundreds to thousands of seconds with tiny fluctuations of 0.001 to 0.2 magnitudes. Known types of pulsating white dwarf (or pre-white dwarf) include the ''DAV'', or ''[[ZZ Ceti]]'', stars, with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DA;<ref name="physrev">{{cite journal|bibcode=1990RPPh...53..837K|title=REVIEW: Physics of white dwarf stars|journal=Reports on Progress in Physics|volume=53|issue=7|pages=837|last1=Koester|first1=D.|last2=Chanmugam|first2=G.|year=1990|doi=10.1088/0034-4885/53/7/001|s2cid=122582479|url=https://semanticscholar.org/paper/fde3294fc2ec8d89f95f7c3eaad91e7b0416601c}}</ref> ''DBV'', or ''[[V777 Her]]'', stars, with helium-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DB;<ref name="wden">{{cite book|bibcode=2002eaa..book.....M|isbn=0-333-75088-8|title=Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics|last1=Murdin|first1=Paul|year=2002}}</ref> and ''[[GW Vir]]'' stars, with atmospheres dominated by helium, carbon, and oxygen.
