At the center of the planetary nebula titled NGC 2440 is a white dwarf with a confirmed temperature of greater than 200,000 degrees Celsius. No other star has had a confirmed temperature measured higher than this at this time. Aug 10 03, 6:03 PM

It is a Blue Giant or whatever a Blue star is classed as, it is confirmed by www.sci.com/home/star_?#blue/ Aug 11 03, 3:33 AM

That link doesn't work and sci.com is not a site likely to have this information being a commercial company site for an Electronics Contract Manufacturer. I still say the white dwarf at the centre of the planetary nebula titled NGC 2440 is the hottest known star at over 200,000 deg Celsius. Aug 11 03, 6:23 AM

Maybe a discrepancy with the number as some sites say it is NCG 2240 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/9544/Hottest_star.html Aug 11 03, 7:35 AM

This is confusing as http://www.vgaplanets.com/v4doc/P400035.htm would agree with the blue giant being the hottest Aug 11 03, 7:39 AM
