北冕座T(T Coronae Borealis,缩写T CrB)是位于星座北冕座的一颗再发新星[11]。它最早是由约翰·伯明翰 (天文学家)在1866年爆发时发现的[12],然而它早些时候被观测到是一颗10等星[13]。它可能在1217年和1787年被观测到[14][15]。
描述
[编辑]北冕座T的星等通常约为10等,接近典型双筒望远镜的极限。 之前曾观察过它两次爆发,分别在1866年5月12日和1946年2月9日,视星等分别达到2.0等和3.0等[16]。然而,最近的一篇论文显示,1866年的爆发可能具有2.5等的峰值范围,± 0.5[17]。即使在2.5等的峰值星等下,这颗再发新星也比夜空中大约120颗恒星还要暗[18]。它有时被昵称为“烈焰之星”[19]。
北冕座T是一个 联星系统,包含一颗巨大的低温恒星和一颗致密的高温恒星。主星是一颗表面温度较低的红巨星,它正在将物质转移到炙热的伴星上。炽热的伴星全部隐藏在来自红巨星的密集物质云中,是一颗被吸积盘环绕的白矮星。当系统处于宁静状态时,红巨星主导可见光的输出,系统呈现的恒星光谱为M3的巨星。炽热的伴星会贡献一些发射并主导紫外线的输出。在爆发过程中,白矮星因为热失控释放出大量的能量,系统的光度因而暴增[6][8][20] [21]。
该系统的两颗恒星每228天相互绕行一次。轨道几乎是圆形的,倾斜角度为67°[6]。
2016年至今的活动
[编辑]2016年4月20日,天空与望远镜杂志的网站报导,自2015年2月以来,它的亮度从10.5等持续变亮到约9.2等。1938 年,也有类似事件的报导,然后在1946年发生了爆发[22]。到2018年6月,这颗恒星略微变暗,但仍保持着异常高的活动水准。在2023年3月或4月,它变暗至12.3等[23]。1946年爆发的前一年也发生了类似的变暗,这表明它可能会在2024年3月至9月爆发[24]。
