Oudaitt AA-A g33: A Unique Astronomical Marvel Description: Discover a truly extraordinary star system, Oudaitt AA-A g33, where a black hole coexists with two white dwarfs. One of these white dwarfs, designated Oudaitt AA-A g33 B (DC), is orbited by a Class V Gas Giant in an astonishingly close orbit of just 0.45 light-seconds, completing its circuit every 18.74 minutes. The sight is nothing short of spectacular and poses a significant challenge for mapping the gas giant, a feat ultimately achieved by the intrepid CMDR Ozzie J. Isaacs. Unique Phenomenon: Upon entering the system, travelers arrive near the black hole Oudaitt AA-A g33 A. Initially, the system may seem unremarkable, but venturing 9200 light-seconds to the nearest white dwarf, Oudaitt AA-A g33 B, reveals the breathtaking dynamics of the dual white dwarfs (DC and DA). Here, the true wonder unfolds as the DC white dwarf hosts a Class V Gas Giant that orbits it every 18.7 minutes, creating an extraordinary celestial dance. Why It's Unique: Close Orbit: The gas giant's incredibly tight orbit of 0.45 light-seconds from the white dwarf is a rarity, demonstrating extreme gravitational interactions. Rapid Orbital Period: The 18.74-minute orbital period is exceptionally short for a gas giant, indicating powerful gravitational forces at play. Stellar Combination: The presence of a black hole, two white dwarfs, and a closely orbiting gas giant in one system is an unusual and complex configuration, providing valuable insights into stellar evolution and dynamics. Visual Splendor: The contrast between the brilliant white dwarfs and the dark expanse of the black hole, along with the swift-moving gas giant, offers an awe-inspiring visual spectacle. Exploration Challenge: Mapping such a system requires skill and perseverance, highlighting the achievements of explorers like CMDR Ozzie J. Isaacs. This system is a must-visit for any avid explorer, offering not only a feast for the eyes but also a profound appreciation of the complexities and wonders of our galaxy. | → | This system houses a spectacular sight: a Class V gas giant (B 1) orbits a white dwarf at a close distance of only 0.45 light-seconds, completing a full orbit in just under 19 minutes. Upon entering the system, travelers arrive near the black hole Oudaitt AA-A g33 A. At first glance, the system may seem unremarkable, but a thorough scan will reveal the two white dwarf stars farther into the system. The B 1 gas giant is around 9,200 ls away from the arrival point. WIP: would be good to have an image here The contrast between the brilliant white dwarfs and the dark expanse of the black hole, along with the swift-moving gas giant, offers spectacular views. Mapping the gas giant can be an interesting challenge too, due to its proximity to its parent star. The system also has an assortment of bodies, many of them with thick atmospheres. The fourth star is a class K yellow-orange star, so fuel scooping is possible here. |
