About: KQ Velorum

An Entity of Type: star, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

KQ Velorum is a variable star system in the southern constellation of Vela. It has the identifier HD 94660 in the Henry Draper Catalogue; KQ Vel is the variable star designation. This appears as a sixth magnitude star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.112, and thus is dimly visible to the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions. The system is located at a distance of approximately 373 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of around 23 km/s.

  • KQ de la Vela (KQ Velorum) és un estel variable en la constel·lació de Vela.Té magnitud aparent mitjana +6,09 i es troba a 496 anys llum de distància del Sistema Solar. De tipus espectral A0p, KQ de la Vela és un estel peculiar amb sobreabundància de certs elements químics i amb un camp magnètic intens i variable. El seu camp magnètic efectiu, Be aconsegueix el valor de 2089 G. És també una variable Alfa² Canum Venaticorum —com Alioth (ε Ursae Majoris) o IM Velorum—, de qui la lluentor fluctua 0,02 magnituds, i és gairebé imperceptible. KQ de la Vela té una temperatura efectiva de 10.700 K —11.600 K segons una altra font— i brilla amb una lluminositat 109 vegades major que la del Sol. No obstant això, és en longituds d'ona de raigs X on KQ Velorum exhibeix una notable lluminositat, aconseguint 3577×1020 W; en aquesta part de l'espectre és 184 vegades més lluminosa que Vega (α Lyrae) i 127 vegades més lluminosa que Phecda (γ Ursae Majoris), també estels A0V. Amb un radi 3 vegades més gran que el radi solar, la massa de KQ de la Vela és de 2,85 masses solars i té una edat estimada de 263 milions d'anys, havent transcorregut gairebé 2/3 de la seva vida com a estel de la seqüència principal.

  • KQ Velorum is a variable star system in the southern constellation of Vela. It has the identifier HD 94660 in the Henry Draper Catalogue; KQ Vel is the variable star designation. This appears as a sixth magnitude star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.112, and thus is dimly visible to the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions. The system is located at a distance of approximately 373 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of around 23 km/s. This was first identified as a chemically peculiar star by Carlos and Mercedes Jaschek in 1959, who found spectral peculiarities in the silicon absorption bands. The long-term photometric variability of this star was reported by in 1993, who noted a possibly complicated light curve with an estimated period on the order of 2,700 days. In 1975, and detected a strong magnetic field in excess of 1 kG on the star. Radial velocity measurements by and associates (1997) demonstrated this is a spectroscopic binary system. This single-lined spectroscopic binary has a physical separation of at least 1.25 ± 0.01 AU, an orbital period of 2.32 years, and a high eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.45. The visible component is an Ap star with a stellar classification of Ap(SiCr), although the effective temperature of 11,300 K is a closer match to a spectral type of B8.5p. and associates (1991) gave a spectral type of A0p EuCrSi, indicating the spectrum shows peculiarities in the europium, chromium, and silicon bands. It is classified as an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable with a brightness that varies from 6.10 down to 6.12 in magnitude. KQ Vel is a frequently-studied object that is often used as a magnetic standard star. The magnetic field of this star has a dipole strength of 7.5 kG, while displaying additional quadropole and octopole moments. It is inclined to the rotation axis by 16°. The mean longitudal field is almost constant, showing a strength of −2 kG. The star is less than halfway through its main sequence lifespan, but is rotating very slowly with a period of around 2,800 days. It has three times the mass and 2.5 times the radius of the Sun, while radiating 105 times the Sun's luminosity. The mass function of the system indicates that the secondary must have more than two times the mass of the Sun, yet there is no sign of it in otherwise high-quality spectra. A main sequence stellar companion of this mass would have a spectral type earlier than A5V. This led to the suggestion that this companion must be a compact object, either a black hole, a neutron star, or a pair of white dwarfs. In 2018 the companion was detected in the near infrared using the Pioneer instrument at the VLIT observatory, showing an H-band magnitude difference of 1.8±0.03 at an angular separation of 18.72±0.02 mas. This corresponds to a projected linear separation of a little over 2 AU. X-ray observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2016 confirmed that the companion is a neutron star; the first known pair of strongly magnetic Ap star and neutron star that have been discovered. The neutron star in this system is the product of a supernova explosion, possibly of the electron capture type that would not significantly disrupt the orbit. The strongly magnetic Ap star is likely the result of a merger, perhaps from an W UMa close binary. The current neutron star may have been the tertiary member of the system, and it gained mass during a Roche lobe overflow of the binary components. (en)
