Lampton, M. ; Margon, B. ; Paresce, F. ; Stern, R. ; Bowyer, S. Abstract Results are reported for observations of EUV emission from an extrasolar object which were made with a grazing-incidence telescope during the Apollo-Soyuz mission. The total energy flux in the spectral band between 170 and 620 A is estimated to be approximately 4 by 10 to the -9th power erg/sq cm per sec. It is shown that the data support the identification of the EUV object with the ultrasoft X-ray source in Coma Berenices. The source of both emissions is suggested to be the hot white dwarf HZ 43, located at right ascension 13 hr 43 min and declination +29 deg 22 min (1950). The temperature of HZ 43 is estimated as 110,000 K, giving it the highest temperature of any known white dwarf.
