A finding chart for WZ Sge

SkyView image of WZ Sge (see important notes).

Position:
  • Equatorial: 20h07m36.58s, +17d42m14.3s (Gaia)
  • Galactic: l=57.54, b=-7.93
Finding Chart:
?
Brightness:
Optical: G=15.2 (Gaia); X-rays: 1.2x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (4XMM-DR11)
IP Credential:
*** (Probable LLIP): There are conflicting indications, but the stability of the 27.87 s period is best interpreted as the spin period of a magnetic white dwarf.

  • Orbital: 0.056688 d = 1.3605 hr = 4897.8 s
  • Spin ? 27.87 s
  • Others: 28.97 s
Inclination:
?
Distance:
45.18 (45.13-45.25) pc (Gaia EDR3; parallax: 22.1035+/-0.0304 mas)
