discov_num notes refcode
BLM 4 A: sig Sco = 20 Sco = Alniyat. This system is comprised of a 33d SB
components Aa1 and Aa2), with a third component (Ab) at 0.4" from the
spectroscopic pair and a fourth component at about 20". The primary
is a beta Cep variable.
North et al. derive masses of 18.4 +/- 5.4 and 11.9 +/- 3.1 Msun for Nor2007
the two spectroscopic components; spectral types for the primary and
secondary appear to be B1III and B1V, and the age is about 10Myr.
1976.471: These measurements cannot be that of the SB system observed
by Struve et al. (1961 ApJ, 133, 509) but probably relates to the more
distant companion observed by Nather et al (1974) at a lunar Chu1974
occultation. The system is also a photometric variable. BLM1978
sig Sco Aa1,Aa2: Malkov et al. (2012) derive dynamical, photometric, and
spectroscopic masses 56.66 +/- 21.97, 15.64, 16.98 Msun, respectively. Mlk2012
H 4 121 H IV 121.
