Eta Lyrae, a name Latinized from
Nomenclature
[edit]'BD +38 3491' is the 'B' component's designation in the Bonner Durchmusterung astrometric star catalogue.
Eta Lyrae bore the traditional name Aladfar, from the Arabic الأظفر al-ʼuẓfur "the talons (of the swooping eagle)", a name it shares with Mu Lyrae (though the latter is typically spelled Alathfar).[13] The Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[14] has approved the name Aladfar for the Aa component of the system (the primary component of Eta Lyrae).[15]
Properties
[edit]The suspected radial velocity variations of this star in 1938 led to it being incorrectly classified as a Beta Cephei-type star, although there was some early disagreement about the variation.[16] In 1951, J. A. Pearce and R. M. Petrie also noted that the star appeared to have a variable radial velocity.[17] It was announced as a binary system by H. A. Abt and S. G. Levy in 1978, who listed it as a single-lined spectroscopic binary, albeit with marginal elements. The putative components have an orbital period of 56 days with an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.5 and a small radial velocity variation of 2.8 km/s.[4]
The visible component of this system is a massive B-type star with a stellar classification of B2.5IV.[3] It is around 23[6] million years old with ten[6] times the mass of the Sun and a low rotational velocity. The star is radiating around 19,095 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 19,525 K.[5] A magnetic field has been detected with an average quadratic field strength of (169.0±115.9)×10−4 T.[18]
The magnitude 8.58 star BD +38 3491 forms a visual companion to this pair. It is designated Eta Lyrae B in the Washington Double Star Catalog, and is located at an angular separation of 28.40 arcseconds along a position angle of 81°, as of 2017.[19]
