Astronomers Capture Image "Star Married"

- Scientists know that the two stars could be like a human one by a rope tied to marriage. However, for many years to find, astronomers have not found it. Until finally some good news coming from Romuald Tylenda, the Polish astronomer, who managed to capture images that marry the star phenomenon.

The discovery of this phenomenon starts from the discovery of a star named v1309 Scorpii. Stars who found through observations in the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center in Torun, Poland, it was first encountered in 2008 when she was issued a tongue of fire. Several studies carried out, but astronomers have not found what had happened.

After making observations since 2002 at an observatory in Warsaw, Tylenda and colleagues found variations of light in the v1309. The variation indicates that the v1309 beginning was double star nearby, a star that "almost touching" and around one another in a very short time, only 1.4 days.

As time passed, the outer layer of stars that orbit each other hundreds of times and began to form a unity. When that happens, Tylenda and his colleagues saw that the light is brighter stars 300 times during 10 days. In August 2008 observation, the explosion took place and eventually became a star's core.

When mating occurs the star, its light to 30,000 times brighter than the Sun. The energy of the star's core is spread out. Based Tylenda publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, bright starlight increases because the two stars into one. After several months, the star's light back to normal.

Until now, scientists can not predict the stars scattered material during mating. To find out, take observations with the Hubble telescope. Unfortunately, the material can block the scattered observations. Tylenda is a professor of astronomy at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center.
