Abstract:Massive pulsating white dwarf stars are extremely rare, because they are the final product of intermediate-mass stars, which are less common than low-mass stars. Additionally, their small size makes them fainter than the normal-mass white dwarf stars (∼0.6 M
⊙). Our motivation to look for this type of variable is to be able to study in detail their internal structure and therefore derive properties for the outcome of the evolution of intermediate mass stars, below 10 M
