V1432 Aquilae = RX J1940.1-1025

A finding chart for V1432 Aql

SkyView image of V1432 Aql (see important notes); the CV is the top-right star of the triangle at the center of this image.

Position
  • Equatorial: 19h 40m 11.46s, -10d 25m 25.7s (J2000)
  • Galactic: l=28.98, b=-15.50
Finding Chart:
Staubert et al (1994).
Brigntness:
Optical ; fx (2-10 keV)~?
Periods:
  • Orbital: 0.1402345 d = 3.36563 hr = 12116.26 s
    Mid-eclipse = HJD 2449199.6931 + 0.1402345E
    (Patterson et al 1995).
  • Others: Also a 12150 s period.
Inclination:
High (eclipsing)
Distance:
?

The canonical interpretation is that this is an asynchronous polar with a 12150 s spin period (which is 0.3% longer than the orbital period). One author (Mukai 1998) thinks it may actually be an IP.
