V1025 Centauri = RX J1238-38

A finding chart for V1025 Cen

SkyView image of V1025 Cen (see important notes).

Position
  • Equatorial: 12h38m16.38s, -38d42m46.0s (J2000)
  • Galactic: l=300.12, b=+24.09
Finding Chart:
Buckley et al (1998).
Brigntness:
Optical ; fx (2-10 keV)~1.4x10^(-11) ergs/cm/cm/s (ASCA)
Periods:
  • Orbital: 0.05876 d = 1.41 hr = 5077 s, from optical photometry.
  • Spin: 0.0248448 d = 35.7765 min = 2146.59 s, from optical photometry.
    HJD(max)=2449807.308 + 0.0248448 E
    (Buckley et al 1998).
  • Others: Also a 1860 s period, the first harmonic of the orbital sideband.
Inclination:
?
