WD 2359-434 (Gliese 915, LHS 1005, L 362-81) is a nearby degenerate star (white dwarf) of spectral class DAP5.8, the single known component of the system, located in the constellation Phoenix, the nearest star in this constellation.
WD 2359-434, probably, is the 11th closest white dwarf, or, possibly, 9th, 10th, or 12th (see Gliese 293, GJ 1087 and Gliese 518). Currently, the most accurate distance estimate of WD 2359-434 is trigonometric parallax from CTIOPI (Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory Parallax Investigation) 0.9 m telescope program, published in 2009 in the 21st paper of RECONS's The Solar Neighborhood (TSN) series Subasavage et al. 2009: 122.27 ± 1.13 mas, corresponding to a distance 8.18 ± 0.08 pc, or 26.68 ± 0.25 ly.
The most accurate estimate is marked in bold.
WD 2359-434's mass is 0.85 ± 0.01 Solar masses, its surface gravity is 108.39 ± 0.01 (2.45 · 108) cm·s−2, or approximately 250,000 of Earth's, corresponding to a radius 6780 km, or 1.06 of Earth's.
