A finding chart for V405 Aur

SkyView image of V405 Aur (see important notes).

Position
  • Equatorial: 05h57m59.29s, +53d53m44.7s (Gaia)
  • Galactic: l=159.21, b=+14.31
Finding Chart:
Haberl et al (1994)
Brigntness:
Optical G=13.9 (Gaia); X-rays: 3.4x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (BAT 157m; 14-195 keV), 2.3x10-11 ergs cm-2s-1 (2SXPS; from a poor spectral fit)
IP Credential:
***** (Ironclad) The spin period (or, usually, half the spin period) is detected in multiple independent X-ray and optical observations. The orbital period has accurately been established using optical spectroscopy.
Periods:
  • Orbital: 0.1726255 d = 4.143012 hr= 14914.84 s, seen in optical spectroscopy.
    HJD=2451838.048(5)+0.1726255(3)E
    (Thorstensen et al. 2017)
  • Spin: 0.06313 d = 9.091 min = 545.4555 s, seen in optical photometry and hard X-ray light curves.
    HJD(min)=2449689.573466(31)+0.006313154(3)E
    (Skillman (1996))
  • Others: In optical and soft X-rays, the dominant period is half the spin period (272.7277s).
Inclination:
?
Distance:
658.2 (649.7-666.7) pc (Gaia EDR3; parallax: 1.483+/-0.018 mas)
