Phase-resolved Far-Ultraviolet ITALHubble Space Telescope/ITAL Spectroscopy of the Peculiar Magnetic White Dwarf RE J0317−853

We present phase resolved FUV HST FOS spectra of the rapidly rotating, highly magnetic white dwarf RE J0317-853. Using these data, we construct a new model for the magnetic field morphology across the stellar surface. From an expansion into spherical harmonics, we find the range of magnetic field strengths present is 180-800MG. For the first time we could identify an absorption feature present at certain phases at 1160A as a ``forbidden'' 1s₀ -> 2s₀ component, due to the combined presence of an electric and magnetic field.
