BG Canis Minoris = 3A0729+103

A finding chart for BG CMi

SkyView image of BG CMi (see important notes)

Position:
  • Equatorial: 07h31m28.99s, +09d56m23.1s (Gaia)
  • Galactic: l=208.48, b=+13.36
Finding Chart:
McHardy et al. (1984)
Brigntness:
Optical G=14.9 (Gaia); X-rays: 2.4x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (BAT 157m; 14-195 keV), 2.4/1.9x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (with power-law and APEC fits, both poor; 2SXPS)
IP Credential:
***** (Ironclad) The spin period has repeatedly been measured in X-rays and in the optical; while the orbital modulation is mostly tracked photometrically, it has been confirmed using optical spectroscopy.
Periods:
  • Orbital: 0.13474854 d = 3.2339650 hr = 11642.2741 s, see in optical and X-rays
    HJD(Eclipse) = 2445020.396(2)=0.13474854(10)E
    (Hellier 1997a; see, however, Kim et al. 2005)
  • Spin (?): 0.010572993 d = 15.225110 min = 913.50660 s, seen in optical photometry, optical spectroscopy and X-rays.
    HJD(max) = 2445020.27999(33)+0.010572993(4)E-3.86(9)x10^(-13)E^2
    (Hellier 1997a; see, however Kim et al. 2005 and Bonnardeau 2016)
  • Others: positive sideband in X-rays; 1083s in optical.
Inclination:
~65 deg? (has grazing eclipse)
Distance:
867 (843-893) pc (Gaia EDR3; parallax: 1.120+/-0.033 mas)
