Scientific paper

EC 20058-5234 is the eighth pulsating helium white dwarf to be discovered. At least eight periodicities have been observed in about 52h of high-speed photometry, the most prominent being at 281 and 257s. Many of the periodicities appear to be permanent features of the light curve, but the amplitudes vary: the strongest mode has been observed at amplitudes between 6 and 13 mmag. The star is exceptional in the group of DBVs because of both its short periods and its low amplitudes.
