LP 658-2 is a degenerate (white dwarf ) star in the constellation of Orion ,[ 1] the single known object in its system. It has an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 14.488.[ 2]
Distance
According to a 2009 paper, it is the eighth closest known white dwarf to the Sun (after Sirius B , Procyon B , van Maanen's star , Gliese 440 , 40 Eridani B , Stein 2051 B and GJ 1221 ).[ 7] Its trigonometric parallax from the CTIOPI (Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) Parallax Investigation) 0.9 m telescope program, published in 2009, is 0.15613 ± 0.00084 arcsec ,[ 3] corresponding to a distance 6.40 ± 0.03 pc , or 20.89 ± 0.11 ly . Also, previous less precise parallax measurements of LP 658-2 present in YPC (Yale Parallax Catalog) and among results of CTIOPI 1.5 m telescope program:

Physical parameters
There are two sets of published physical parameters of LP 658-2, significantly differing from each other: one from Holberg et al. 2008 and Sion et al. 2009 , the other from Subasavage et al. 2009 .
Color
Despite it being classified as a "white" dwarf, it appears yellowish white rather than white, due to temperature, cooler than the Sun's and comparable with that of a K-type main sequence star .
Notes
^ From surface gravity and mass.
^ a b White dwarf cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not including lifetime as main sequence star and as giant star)
