of V2306 Cyg (see important notes).
- Position
-
- Equatorial: 19h58m14.48s,
+32d32m42.2s (J2000)
- Galactic: l=69.05, b=+1.70
- Finding Chart:
- Israel et al (1999) (their star B).
- Brigntness:
- Optical V~16;
fx (2-10 keV)~1.0x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (ASCA)
- Periods:
-
- Orbital: 0.181 d = 4.35 h = 15660 s from optical spectroscopy and
photometry according to Zharikov,
Tovmassian & Echevarria (2002).; 0.2245 d = 5.387 h = 19393 s,
according Norton et al (2002).
- Spin: 0.0169752 d = 24.44 min = 1466.66 s, from optical and X-ray
photometry, in which half the spin period (733.33 s) is the dominant
period.
HJD = 2451739.318445(2) + 0.0084876(4)E
(Norton et al 2002)
for the two equally spaced minima per spin period.
- Others: Beat period of 1587.24 s is present in optical photometry,
although one of its one-day aliases is stronger in the periodogram.
- Inclination:
- ?
- Distance:
- ?
Originally proposed as a Be/neutron star binary, but this is an IP.
