New hydrogen-deficient (pre-) white dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10

We have detected 21 new, very hot hydrogen-deficient (pre-) white dwarfs (spectral types O(He), hot DO, PG1159) in the Data Release 10 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We present the results of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) model-atmosphere analyses. The seven PG1159 stars have effective temperatures and surface gravities in the ranges Teff = 100 000–140 000K and log g = 6–7.5. The hottest one is a new member of the rare hybrid-PG1159 subtype, indicating the presence of residual hydrogen. The ten new hot DOs span Teff = 65 000–120 000 K and log g = 7.5–8. Carbon abundances were derived and it is found that the PG1159 star values (C/He = 0.33–0.03 by number) and the DO values (
