Preparefor a red nova in 2022


Recommended Posts

In 2022 we expect to see a red nova in constellation Cygnus. A star called KIC 9832227 is a CONTACT binary star in Cygnus. In 2017the system was predicted to result in a merger in 2022 producing a red novareaching an apparent magnitude of 2. The LRN would remain visible to the naked eye for roughly a mounth. The merger of the two stellar core was predicted to give birth to a new, hotter, more massive main-sequence star. I suggest we need to prepare and be aware of the red nova.

Alas i don't think this is on the agenda for next year, a typo by all accounts in the formula..

and from wiki

The merger of the two stellar cores was predicted to give birth to a new, hotter, more massive main-sequence star. However, a reanalysis of the data in September 2018 revealed that the prediction had been based on a wrongly-timed observation, negating the predicted merger.[6][7][8]

The period of the variations in KIC 9832227 has been observed to be growing shorter since 2013, leading to the prediction of the merger in 2022.[9] In September 2018, it was announced that the original prediction was based on a timing offset of 12 hours in one of the datasets. This shows that the period had actually been increasing up to about 2008. The cause for the period variation is still unknown, but it is unlikely that the system will end in a merger at the predicted time.[6][7][10]
