天狼星 Sirius

Celestia中所见的天狼星A与从天狼星B

天狼星(Bd:α CMa)是夜空中最亮的恒星,其视星等为-1.47,几乎为第二亮恒星老人星的两倍。它的英文名称为Sirius,读法为/sɪɹiəs/,源自古希腊语的Σείριος。天狼星根据拜耳命名法的名称为大犬座α星。我们肉眼以为是一颗恒星的天狼星,实际上是一个联星系统,其中包括一颗光谱型A1V的白主序星和另一颗光谱型DA2的暗白矮星伴星天狼星B(Bd:α CMa B)。

天狼星如此之亮除了因为其原本就很高的光度以外,还因为它距离太阳很近。天狼星距离我们2.6秒差距(8.6光年),并是最近的恒星之一。天狼星A的质量为太阳的两倍,而绝对星等为1.42等。它比太阳亮25倍,但光度明显比其它亮星较暗,如对比老人星或参宿七。此双星系统约有二亿至三亿年历史,并且一开始是由两颗蓝色的亮星组成。更高质量的天狼星B耗尽了能源,成为一颗红巨星,然后又渐渐削去外层,约在一亿二千万年前坍塌成为今天的白矮星状态。

Sirius (/ˈsɪriəs/) is the brightest star (in fact, a star system) in the Earth's night sky. With a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46, it is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star. The name "Sirius" is derived from the Ancient Greek Σείριος (Seirios), meaning "glowing" or "scorcher". The system has the Bayer designation Alpha Canis Majoris (α CMa). What the naked eye perceives as a single star is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white main-sequence star of spectral type A1V, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, called Sirius B. The distance separating Sirius A from its companion varies between 8.2 and 31.5 AU.
