DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
Found on the border between Odin’s Hold and the Empyrean Straits, Dryi Audst AA-A H108 is a binary system between a near absolute-zero Wolf-Rayet star, and a giant Class O star of nearly 204 solar radiuses. H108 A, the Wolf-Rayet, barely has a positive temperature at a mere 2 Kelvin, which translates to negative 271.85 degrees Celsius, with H109 B having a common temperature of 34,964.00 Kelvin. Whilst comparable to the previously found “Dark Star” POI, the temperatures on H108 A’s surface are currently the lowest on record in the entire galaxy. This puts into question if this is a more widespread phenomenon, and if this type of Wolf-Rayet star could be put into its own category due to the extreme cold surface temperatures. Behind H108 A rests H108 B, the previously mentioned giant Class O star. With a solar radius of 204 it dominates the view no matter what angle, and is clearly visible from nearby H108 A. Ship in scale Despite H108 A’s extremely cold surface temperature it is still seemingly capable of fusion, ionized oxygen lines invisibly spreading across its surface. Thanks to the nearly 112 suns worth of mass, it is very likely that H108 A will collapse into a hypernova alongside H108 B, which too has large enough solar mass of nearly 38 to start this process. Even when fully illuminated by H108 B, the stark contrast between both stars is immense, to the point where one might even mistake H109 A for a black hole. Ship for additional contrast Despite both stars having the exact same orbit of 71.4 days, they do cross each others’ paths thanks to H108 B’s immense size. Whilst unlikely, a collision between both stars is not entirely out of the question, though what happens if that occurs is anyone’s guess. Explorers wishing to visit H108 A and B should heed the following warnings, to prevent an unfortunate loss of their own ship; | → | Found on the border between Odin’s Hold and the Empyrean Straits, Dryi Audst AA-A H108 is a binary system between a near absolute-zero Wolf-Rayet star, and a giant Class O star of nearly 204 solar radiuses.
