HS 0146+1847, originally identified as a white dwarf candidate in proper motion surveys, was rediscovered as a candidate in the Hamburg Quasar Survey. Spectra obtained for the SPY (ESO Supernova la Progenitor) survey show strong Balmer and Call lines, suggesting a classification as DAZ white dwarf. Contrary to the objects known so far in this class, HS 0146+1847 has a helium-rich atmosphere at T eff = 11 500 K. This is confirmed by very weak He lines, changing the classification to DAZB. Mg and Fe lines are also detected. We discuss the physics of Balmer line broadening by neutral helium, present a spectral analysis and note some implications for the accretion/diffusion scenario of heavy elements in cool white dwarfs.
