Abstract/Description

We present a preliminary analysis of the recently discovered carbon-dominated atmosphere white dwarfs (``Hot DQ'') based on HST/COS observations. We also present a summary of the recent findings that emerged from our ongoing campaign aimed at obtaining high signal-to-noise optical spectroscopic observations of these objects.
