A finding chart for V2306 Cyg

SkyView image of V2306 Cyg (see important notes).

Position
  • Equatorial: 19h58m14.47s, +32d32m41.9s (Gaia)
  • Galactic: l=69.05, b=+1.70
Finding Chart:
Israel et al (1999) (their star B).
Brigntness:
Optical: G=15.7 (Gaia); X-rays: 1.4x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (BAT 157m; 14-195 keV), 1.5x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (2SXPS)
IP Credential:
***** (Ironclad) Despite some initial confusion about the nature of the object and the true spin period, the IP nature of this object has been established beyond doubt using optical spectroscopy and photometry, and X-ray observations.
Periods:
  • Orbital: 0.1821454 d = 4.371490 h = 15737.36 s seen in optical photometry and spectroscopy.
    HJD=2453622.783(6)+0.1821454(8)E
    (Thorstensen et al. 2017)
  • Spin: 0.0169754574(34) d = 24.4446587 min = 1466.67952 s from X-ray and optical photometry, in which half the spin period (733.33 s) is the dominant period.
  • Others: Beat period of 1587.24 s is present in optical photometry.
Inclination:
?
Distance:
1253 (1211-1304) pc (Gaia EDR3; parallax: 0.771+/-0.028 mas)
