SIMBAD data

ADS 1359 is a quadruple star system in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is composed of two sun like stars in an eclipsing binary with a 2.5-day period, which is in turn orbited by an A-type main-sequence star with a 185-year orbital period. There is also HD 236848 which is a distant proper motion companion.

Contents

Visual binary

The visual binary was discovered by Sherburne Wesley Burnham at Dearborn Observatory in Chicago in 1880. [9] A first preliminary orbit was calculated in 1971 by astronomer Georgije Popović using observations from 1880 to 1967. [10] Improved orbits were calculated in 1995, [11] 2009 [12] and 2017. [4] The two stars were separated by 1.0 when they were discovered, but only 0.50″ in 2010. The orbit has a high eccentricity and the separation of the two stars varies between about 0.2″ and 1.6″. [4]

Eclipsing binary

ADS 1359 was discovered by the Hipparcos spacecraft to be a detached eclipsing binary and given the variable star designation V773 Cassiopeiae. [13] The derived period of variability was 1.29 days, [7] exactly half the orbital period of the inner pair since each orbit produces two almost-identical eclipses. [4] The eclipsing stars are the inner pair of the system. The two stars combined are still about eight times fainter than the third star and so the eclipses decrease the overall brightness of V773 Cas by less than 0.1 magnitudes. [4]

HD 236848

The Washington Double Star Catalog lists a 16th magnitude companion as component C and a 10th magnitude companion as component D. Component D is HD 236848 and it shares the same space motion and distance as the inner three stars. [12]

Delta<sup>2</sup> Lyrae

Delta2 Lyrae is a 4th magnitude star in the constellation Lyra, approximately 900 light years away from Earth. It is one of the M4II spectral standard stars, meaning it is a bright giant star with a surface temperature around 3,600 kelvins. It puts out more energy than 10,000 suns, although more than 90% of it at longer than visual wavelengths. Direct angular measurements, combined with the Hipparcos parallax, give a radius of 1.1 - 1.3 astronomical units, comparable to the size calculated from other observed data.

1 Persei is an eclipsing binary star in the constellation Perseus. Its uneclipsed apparent magnitude is 5.49. The binary star consists of two B2 type main-sequence stars in a 25.9 day eccentric orbit. The stars are surrounded by a faint cloud of gas visible in mid-infrared, although whether they are the origin of the gas or simply passing through it is unclear.

CE Gruis is a faint binary star system in the constellation Grus. It is a variable star, with a B-band brightness that ranges from a peak magnitude of 17.4 down to a minimum of 19.5 over a period of 108.6 minutes. The system is composed of a white dwarf and donor star, locked into a close, synchronous orbit. In such systems, known as polars, material from the donor star does not form an accretion disc around the white dwarf because of its intense magnetic field, but rather streams directly onto it along columns.

EQ Pegasi is a nearby binary system of two red dwarfs. Both components are flare stars, with spectral types of M4Ve and M6Ve respectively, and a current separation between the components of 5.8 arcseconds. The system is at a distance of 20.4 light-years, and is 950 million years old.

Based upon an annual parallax shift of 24.71, it is located 132 light years away. The system is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −14 km/s.

HO Telescopii is an eclipsing binary star system located in the southern constellation of Telescopium. The maximum apparent visual magnitude of 8.22 is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of approximately 910 light years based on parallax. The combined stellar classification of the system is A7III(m), matching an evolved A-type star that is possibly metallic-lined. The system is around 1.1 billion years old and consists of two stars of similar mass and size.
