A fast spinning magnetic white dwarf in the double-degenerate, super-Chandrasekhar system NLTT 12758

We present an analysis of the close double degenerate NLTT 12758, which is comprised of a magnetic white dwarf with a field of about 3.1 MG and an apparently non-magnetic white dwarf. We measured an orbital period of 1.154 days and found that the magnetic white dwarf is spinning around its axis with...
