Scientific paper

We report on observations of 15 spectroscopically-identified DO stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database, 13 of which are new discoveries. There are four PG 1159 type stars, two DO stars showing ultra-high excitation ion features (CVI, NVII, OVII, OVIII, NeIX, NeX) likely formed in stellar winds, 6 normal DO stars, one DBO and DBAO star, and one DAO star, which may also be magnetic. Since roughly 60 DO stars were known up to now, this new finding substantially increases the number of known DO white dwarf stars and we expect to at least double the current number of known DO stars by the end of the SDSS. We present each spectrum and provide catalog information (magnitudes, proper motion, coordinates) for each star.
