A non-finding chart for XY Ari

SkyView image of the XY Ari region of the sky (see important notes). This image intentionally left blank, you are staring at the heart of the nearby molecular cloud, MBM 12/Lynds 1457.

Position:
  • Equatorial: 02h56m08.15s, +19d26m33.8s (J2000)
  • Galactic: l=159.25, b=-34.49
Finding Chart:
None published (not even in tne IR).
Brigntness:
Optical ?; X-rays: 3.0x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (BAT 157m; 14-195 keV), 1.4x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (4XMM-DR11)
IP Credential:
***** (Ironclad) Eclipses allow one to determine the orbital period with confidence, and the spin period has been detected in multiple independent X-ray observations.
Periods:
  • Orbital: 0.25269664 d = 6.06471936 hr= 21832.9897 (X-ray eclipses, IR light curves).
    Mid Eclipse = HJD 2447751.8398(1) + 0.25269664 (6) E
    (Allan et al 1996)
  • Spin: 0.00239d = 3.44 min = 206.3s, seen in X-rays.
    No good spin ephemeris known?
  • Others:
Inclination:
80-84 (Hellier 1997)
Distance:
270+/-100 pc (Littlefair, Dhillon & Marsh 2001)
