| 单词 | circinus x-1 |
| 释义 | Circinus X-1Circinus X-1A luminous galactic X-ray source, showing recurrent flaring at a 16.6 day period. Spectral characteristics and variability on timescales down to milliseconds, similar to Cygnus X-1, initially suggested Cir X-1 as a black hole candidate. Discovery by EXOSAT of X-ray bursts have now shown that Cir X-1 is more likely to be a neutron star in an eccentric 16.6 day orbit with an early-type nondegenerate companion star. More recent observations with Asca suggest the rapid X-ray variability may result from dense gas clouds passing across in front of the X-ray emission region. |
