BL Herculis is a variable star in the northern constellation of Hercules. Its apparent visual magnitude ranges from 9.70 to 10.62, so it is never bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, even with ideal observing conditions. Its distance from the Sun is about 3,850 light-years, and it is moving away from us at 18 km/sec. It is the prototype of the BL Herculis class of variable star, a short-period subset of the pulsating Cepheid variables. The mass of BL Herculis is estimated to be about 0.75 solar masses, just slightly greater than the mass of a typical RR Lyrae variable.

  • BL Herculis ist ein Stern in einer Entfernung von etwa 4500 Lichtjahren. Er ist der Prototyp der BL-Herculis-Sterne (Typ-II-Cepheiden), welche zu den Pulsationsveränderlichen Sternen gehören. BL Herculis zeigt während einer Periodendauer von 1.3 Tagen eine Schwankung der Magnitude von etwa 9.7 im Maximum bis 10.6 im Minimum. (de)
  • BL Herculis är en pulserande cepheidvariabel av BL Herculis-typ (CWB) i stjärnbilden Herkules. Den är prototypstjärna för en undergrupp av cepheider med en period kortare än 8 dygn. Stjärnan varierar mellan visuell magnitud +9,70 och 10,62 med en period av 1,307445 dygn. (sv)

  • BL Herculis is a variable star in the northern constellation of Hercules. Its apparent visual magnitude ranges from 9.70 to 10.62, so it is never bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, even with ideal observing conditions. Its distance from the Sun is about 3,850 light-years, and it is moving away from us at 18 km/sec. It is the prototype of the BL Herculis class of variable star, a short-period subset of the pulsating Cepheid variables. The variability of BL Herculis was discovered by Cuno Hoffmeister, and announced in 1929. Early observations of the star produced a very inaccurate period of 4.2 days, which resulted in peculiar light and radial velocity curves. The first accurate period, 1.3 days, was published by Pavel Parenago in 1940. and a far more precise period of 1.30744185 days was derived from photometric observations in 1983. The descending portion of the star's light curve shows a "bump" (near phase=0.3, with peak brightness phase defined as 0), which models suggest arises from a 2:1 resonance between the fundamental and second overtone pulsation modes. This bump is considered the primary characteristic of BL Her stars, although its position relative to peak brightness varies as a function of the star's period. The mass of BL Herculis is estimated to be about 0.75 solar masses, just slightly greater than the mass of a typical RR Lyrae variable. (en)
