Tabby's Star (designated as KIC 8462852 in the Kepler Input Catalog and also known by the names Boyajian's Star and WTF (Where'sTheFlux?) [7] Star, is a binary star in the constellation Cygnus approximately 1,470 light-years (450 parsecs) from Earth. The system is composed of an F-type main-sequence star and a red dwarf companion.

2017年6月18日 · If an observation of at least 1/2 hour is needed for a usable measurement, and if measurements should be made when elevation (EL) is above 20 or 30 degrees, then the following graphs can serve as a guide for the season that KIC 846 can be monitored from the ground under dark sky conditions (for my HAO observing site).

2021年1月20日 · Boyajian's Star, or KIC 8462852 A, is the bigger star, at around 1.36 times the mass and 1.5 times the size of the Sun. The companion, KIC 8462852 B, is a red dwarf star around 0.44 times the mass and 0.45 times the size of the Sun.

2018年1月3日 · Scientists say the bizarre dimming of the star KIC 8462852, also known as Boyajian's Star or Tabby's Star, is not consistent with an "alien megastructure" that would evenly dim all wavelengths of...

2018年4月25日 · 特别是考虑到KIC 8462852旁边有一颗伴星，疑似是一个双星系统，伴星的引力扰动产生的“古在（Kozai）效应”可以将这个行星级的天体激发到一个偏心率非常高的轨道上，近而掉落到主星上。

2021年2月2日 · KIC 8462852, a mysteriously dimming star located about 1,480 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus, is, in fact, a binary stellar system, made up of a main-sequence F-type star and a smaller red dwarf star.

2017年5月26日 · After analyzing data from the Kepler Space Telescope, scientists discovered huge dips in KIC 8462852's brightness that lasted between five and 80 days, with the star sometimes losing as much as...

2018年4月19日 · The SETI Institute is following up on the possibility that the stellar system KIC 8462852 might be home to an advanced civilization. This star, slightly brighter than the Sun and more than 1400 light-years away, has been the subject of …

2015年10月21日 · The Kepler spacecraft recorded a bunch of irregular dimmings around one of its target stars, designated KIC 8462852. No natural phenomenon explains the dips well.
