A finding chart for V2400 Oph

SkyView image of V2400 Oph (see important notes).

Position
  • Equatorial: 17h12m36.42s, -24d14m44.7s (Gaia)
  • Galactic: l=359.87, b=+8.74
Finding Chart:
Buckley et al. (1995).
Brigntness:
Optical G=14.1 (Gaia); X-rays: 4.8x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (BAT 157m; 14-195 keV), 5.0x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (4XMM-DR11)
IP Credential:
**** (Confirmed): While the spin and beat periods have been measured in many independent studies, the orbital period has never been directly measured. The accretion flow is also poorly understood.
Periods:
  • Orbital: 3.43 hr period is inferred from the spin and sideband periods.
  • Spin: 0.010737 d = 15.46 min = 927.66 s, from optical polarimetry.
  • Others: 16.72 min =1003 s period dominates the emission lines, optical photometry, and X-ray photometry.
Inclination:
About 10o?
Distance:
699.7 (688.9-709.4) pc (Gaia EDR3; parallax: 1.387+/-0.022 mas)
