We present analysis of a new pulsating helium-atmosphere (DB) white dwarf, EPIC 228782059, discovered from 55.1 days of K2 photometry. The long-duration, high-quality light curves reveal 11 independent dipole and quadruple modes, from which we derive a rotational period of 34.1 ± 0.4 hr for the star. An optimal model is obtained from a series of grids constructed using the White Dwarf Evolution Code, which returns M * = 0.685 ± 0.003M ⊙, T eff = 21,910 ± 23 K, and logg=8.14±0.01 dex. These values are comparable to those derived from spectroscopy by Koester & Kepler (20,860 ± 160 K, and 7.94 ± 0.03 dex). If these values are confirmed or better constrained by other independent works, it would make EPIC 228782059 one of the coolest pulsating DB white dwarf stars known, and would be helpful for testing different physical treatments of convection, and to further investigate the theoretical instability strip of DB white dwarf stars.
