Hercules X-1 | has eclipse duration 0.24 days (in X-rays) | |
is a part of Hercules | |
has eccentricity e < 0.1 | |
has distance 5 kpc | |
has synonym 3U 1653+35 | |
has orbital period 1.7 days | |
has definition An X-ray pulsar, a member of an occulting binary system. The visible component has been identified as the blue variable HZ Herculis, whose spectrum varies from late A or early F to B. Her X- l has a pulsation period of 1.2378 seconds, presumably its rotation period, and exhibits a 35-day quasi-periodicity in the X-ray region (but not in the optical). It is probably a rotating neutron star in a circular orbit with a mass of about 0.7 Msun, which is accreting matter from HZ Her. The orbital period is stable, but the pulsation period is speeding up at a rate of about 1 part in 105 per year. The X-ray eclipse lasts 0.24 days. | |
