Summary: A frozen Wolf-Rayet star with a surface temperature of near absolute zero at 2 Kelvin, in very close binary orbit with a Class O giant of 204 solar radii. | |
Description: Found on the border between Odinâs 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 surface temperature of merely 2 Kelvin, which translates to negative 271.85 degrees Celsius, while h109 B has a common temperature of 34,964 Kelvin. Whilst comparable to the previously found âDark Starâ POI, the temperatures on h108 Aâs surface are currently the lowest on record in the entire galaxy. This puts into question if this might be a more widespread phenomenon, and if this type of Wolf-Rayet star could be put into its own category due to the extremely low surface temperatures. Behind h108 A rests h108 B, the previously mentioned giant Class O star. With a radius of 204 solar radii, it dominates the view no matter what angle, and is clearly visible from the nearby h108 A star. Despite h108 Aâs extremely cold surface temperature, it is still seemingly capable of fusion, with 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 a large enough mass (of nearly 38 solar masses) 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 h108 A for a black hole. The two stars form a binary pair, with an orbital period of 71.4 days. h108 Bâs immense size means that h108 A's path would take it through the other star, but since the pair orbits opposite of each other, they aren't going to collide.
