Spinning white dwarf star?

[CMDR Moortz]

Hello, I'm out exploring out towards the H+S nebulae, and I came across this odd white star, spinning fast enough to see.

I thought it looked a bit odd, so I took a quick clip of it. Of course, I didn't remember the name of the system, so I'll have to wait until I get back to civilization...

If anyone knows what it might be, if it's a rare find, or what causes it, I'd be interested to know It was mentioned (Poseidal I think) that it might be a Herbig Ae/Be?

That looks like an AeBe.

If it is young and full on potential, or one with huge mass in small package, it tends to have a terrible itch and can't stand still

O-class stars are usually impressive, huge and quite easy-going, but if you happen to come across a small one, then it can really scare you with it's frantic spinning.

Could be an Ae/Be - although I've noticed you can come across the odd star from every type having a bit of an 'extra' spin to it (bar BH/Neutrons obv). Came across a similar White Dwarf the other day on the way back in to civilisation.

Looks exactly like the AeBe:s I have found. Very possible anyway.
