Scientific paper

Observations of the peculiar white dwarf BPM 25114 are reported. Photometric VBU observations indicate that it is light variable on a time scale near 2.84 days. Spectroscopic observations made both in white light and with a Zeeman analyzer suggest that changes in the profile and polarization of the H-beta line are in phase with the light variations. Simple theoretical calculations suggest that these observed variations are consistent with the oblique rotator model for this star and a dipole magnetic field 4 x 10 to the 7th gauss.
