HD 49798 is a binary star in the constellation Puppis about 521 ± 14 parsecs (1,699 ± 46 ly) from Earth. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.3, making it one of the brightest known O class subdwarf stars.[9]

HD 49798 was discovered in 1964 to be a rare hydrogen-deficient O class subdwarf, and was the brightest known at the time.[10] This was identified as a binary star, but the companion could not be detected visually or spectroscopically.[11]

The X-ray source RX J0648.0-4418 was discovered close to HD 49798's location in the sky. Only the space telescope XMM-Newton was able to identify the source. It is a white dwarf with about 1.3 solar masses, in orbit about HD 49798 and rotating once every 13 seconds;[12] this rotation is speeding up by 72.0±0.6 ns per year.[5] This is detected from the 13-second X-ray pulse, which results from the stellar wind accreting onto the compact object.[9] It has been proposed that the white dwarf is surrounded by a debris disk. In this model, the material of the disk would be funneled onto the poles of the dwarf via the magnetic field, which would explain the observed X-ray pulses.[9] This system is considered a likely candidate to explode as a type Ia supernova within a few tens of thousands of years.[13][14]
