HU 620 |
The binary companion B discovered by S.W. Burnham in 1878 moved since |
Bu_1879 |
|
then by +6deg in angle, now at 0.63" separation. Considering this |
|
|
slow motion, the pair is likely much wider than it seems, being seen |
|
|
in projection. The sub-system CHR 50 Aa,Ab was discovered by speckle |
|
|
interferometry in 1983.42 at 0.20" (McAlister et al. 1987). A total of |
Mca1987b |
|
four measures are listed, the last one in 2006.19. Curiously, the wide |
Msn2009 |
|
pair AB was measured with speckle at 4-m telescopes several times (in |
|
|
1985.50, 1989.31, 1991.39) without resolving the sub-system. We |
Mca1990 |
|
measured the AB and found no trace of CHR 50 in three runs at SOAR in |
Hrt1993 |
|
2009-2012. The separation of CHR 50 implies an orbital period of 50 |
Tok2012b |
|
yr. Yet the few speckle resolutions show a fast motion or a random |
|
|
scatter. If the sub-system CHR 50 were real, we would expect it to |
|
|
cause some wobble in the motion of AB, but no such signal is seen. |
Tok2012b |
CHR 50 |
The measures show a large scatter and there are many observations of |
Tok2010b |
|
the wider AB without a measure of this close companion. The nature of |
|
|
the motion or even the reality of this pair is in question. A "ghost". |
