G 240-72 (or WD 1748+708, or LHS 455, or GJ 1221) is a nearby degenerate star (white dwarf) of spectral class DQP9.0,[2] located in constellation Draco. It is the seventh closest white dwarf (after Sirius B, Procyon B, van Maanen's star, Gliese 440, 40 Eridani B and Stein 2051 B). Its trigonometric parallax is 0.1647 ± 0.0024 arcsec,[4] corresponding to a distance 6.07 ± 0.09 pc, or 19.80 ± 0.30 ly.

G 240-72 has mass 0.81 Solar masses[2] and surface gravity 108.36 (2.29 · 108) cm·s−2,[2] or approximately 234 000 of Earth's, corresponding to a radius 6850 km, or 107% of Earth's.

This white dwarf has relatively low temperature 5590 K[2] (slightly cooler than Sun), and old cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not counting duration of previous existence as main sequence star and as giant star) 5.69 Gyr.[3] Despite it is classified as "white dwarf", it should appear yellow, not white, due low temperature.
