ZTF J1901+1458 (nicknamed Z; formally ZTF J190132.9+145808.7; Gaia ID 4506869128279648512[1]) is a white dwarf, about 135 light years away roughly in the direction of Epsilon Aquilae, discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility circa 2021. It is the most massive white dwarf yet found, having 1.35 times the mass of the Sun, nearly the largest expected mass for this type of object. Its radius is about 2,100 km (1,300 mi),[2] about the size of Earth's Moon, and it rotates once every 7 minutes.[3]
The object's extreme rate of spin is hard to explain without supposing Z to be the result of a white dwarf merger, near the upper mass limit of a stable end product. Larger white dwarf mergers could be another mechanism of supernova production, which is not necessarily taken into account in how we have traditionally inferred dark energy from supernova observations.

ZTF J1901+1458 (Gaia ID 4506869128279648512) — белый карлик в созвездии Орла. Находится примерно в 130 световых годах от Солнца. Обнаружен обзором Zwicky Transient Facility[en] (ZFT). По состоянию на 2021 год это самый массивный белый карлик, а также одновременно самый маленький по радиусу, который когда-либо был обнаружен[5][6][7].Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
