We recently discovered an ultramassive white dwarf that escaped from the nearby Hyades cluster (2023ApJ…956L..41M). It is one of only three white dwarfs with a mass likely greater than 1.3 solar masses, but unlike the other two, it is not strongly magnetic, so we can use spectroscopy to estimate its mass as well, yielding a test of the mass-radius relation for white dwarfs!
