CX Dra in outburst

Post by Olivier GARDE »

Version Française juste dessous :
This night, I just take the spectrum of CX Dra and the H alpha line is not in emission

Here is the graph that compares my spectrum of June 22th with the spectrum taken now.

Je viens de faire le spectre de CX Dra et la raie H alpha n'est plus en emission (comme lors de mon dernier spectre du 22 juin 2016)
Voici le graphe qui compare mon spectre du 22 juin avec celui réalisé à l'instant.

Un spectre de CX Dra réalisé le 4 octobre dernier montre que la raie H Alpha est de nouveau en émission alors qu'elle était en absorption en juillet dernier.

Salut Olivier

Yes cx dra is a star which has a profile which evolves quite often. In fact it is a Binary star B3+F5III
Here is the summary view for all the BeSS spectra - evolutions from day to day can be observed. Would worth a look at litterature.
