Binary star in the constellation Draco
Zeta Draconis (ζ Draconis , abbreviated Zet Dra , ζ Dra ) is a binary star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco . With an apparent visual magnitude of +3.17,[2] it is the fifth-brightest member of this generally faint constellation. Its distance from the Sun has been measured using the parallax technique, yielding an estimate of roughly 330 light-years (100 parsecs ).[1]
The two components are designated Zeta Draconis A (formally named Aldhibah , after the traditional name of the system)[9] and B.
Nomenclature
[ edit ]
ζ Draconis (Latinised to Zeta Draconis ) is the system's Bayer designation . The designations of the two components as Zeta Draconis A and B derives from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems , and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[10]
Zeta Draconis has the old Arabic name الذئب al-dhiʼb "the wolf" or "the hyena", given in its feminine form『Al Dhiʼbah』(ذئبة) in Allen (1899) (though he mistranslated it as plural "hyenas", which would be الضباع al-ḍibāʽ ).[11] It shares the dual form of the name, الذئبين al-dhiʼbayn , with Eta Draconis .[12] It is also known as Nodus III (Third Knot, the knot being a loop in the tail of Draco).[13]
In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[14] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN decided to attribute proper names to individual stars rather than entire multiple systems .[15] It approved the name Aldhibah for the component Zeta Draconis A on 5 September 2017. It also approved the name Athebyne for Eta Draconis A on the same date. Both are now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[9]
Zeta Draconis is mentioned in Hindu texts as Tara who was a celestial goddess married to Lord Brhaspati . A divine epic was played out in the night sky when Lord Chandra , the moon, lusted after and abducted Tara, the blue pole star of Brhaspati, the planet Jupiter . By the completion of the epic Tara gives birth to Lord Budha , or Mercury .[16]
In Chinese , 紫微左垣 (Zǐ Wēi Zuǒ Yuán ), meaning Left Wall of Purple Forbidden Enclosure , refers to an asterism consisting of Zeta Draconis, Iota Draconis , Eta Draconis, Theta Draconis , Upsilon Draconis , 73 Draconis , Gamma Cephei and 23 Cassiopeiae .[17] Consequently, the Chinese name for Zeta Draconis itself is 紫微左垣四 (Zǐ Wēi Zuǒ Yuán sì , English: the Fourth Star of Left Wall of Purple Forbidden Enclosure ),[18] representing 上弼 (Shǎngbì ), meaning The First Minister .[19] 上弼 (Shǎngbì) is westernized into Shang Pih by R.H. Allen with meaning "the Higher Minister".[20]
Properties
[ edit ]
Zeta Draconis A is a giant star with a stellar classification of B6 III.[3] Compared to the Sun, this star is about 2.5 times larger , 3.5 times more massive , and is radiating 148 times as much luminosity .[6] This energy is being emitted from the star's outer envelope at an effective temperature of nearly 13,400 K .[3] The azimuthal rotation velocity along the equator is at least 55 km/s.[7]
The north ecliptic pole is located at right ascension 18 h and declination +66.5°.[21] This is located roughly midway between Delta Draconis and Zeta Draconis.[22] The north ecliptic pole almost coincides with the south celestial pole of Venus ; Zeta Draconis is also the north pole star of Jupiter .[23]
