| '''Alpha Serpentis''' (α Serpentis, α Ser) is a [[double star]] in the head (Serpens Caput) of the equatorial [[constellation]] [[Serpens]]. It has the traditional name '''Unukalhai'''. With an [[apparent visual magnitude]] of 2.6,<ref name=sps1966/> this star is the brightest in the constellation and it can be viewed with the naked eye from most of the [[Earth]]. [[Parallax]] measurements yield an estimated distance of about {{Convert|74|ly|pc|abbr=off|lk=on}} from [[Earth]].
| |
| | |
| ==Properties==
| |
| Alpha Serpentis is a [[giant star]] with a [[stellar classification]] of K2 III, having consumed the hydrogen at its core and [[stellar evolution|evolved]] away from the [[main sequence]]. The [[interferometry]]-measured [[angular diameter]] of this star, after correcting for [[limb darkening]], is {{nowrap|4.85 ± 0.05 [[milliarcseconds|mas]]}},<ref name=aaa431_773/> which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 12 times the [[Solar radius|radius of the Sun]].<ref name=lang2006/> The [[effective temperature]] of the outer envelope is 4,498 K,<ref name=aj135_1_209/> giving it an orange hue that is characteristic of a K-type star.<ref name=csiro/>
| |
| | |
| This star is radiating about 38 times the [[solar luminosity|luminosity of the Sun]], while a further 32 times the Sun's luminosity is being emitted in the [[infrared]], for 70-fold total.<ref name=kaler/> A magnitude +11.8 companion is at an [[angular separation]] of 58 [[arcsecond]]s from Alpha Serpentis, while a 13th magnitude star lies 2.3 [[arcminute]]s distant.
| |
| | |
| ==Etymology==
| |
| Alpha Serpentis has the proper names '''Unukalhai''',<ref>Also spelt '''Unuk al Hay''' or '''Unuk Elhaija'''.</ref> from the [[Arabic language|Arabic]] عنق الحية ''‘Unuq al-Ħayyah'' "[[Serpens|the Serpent]]'s Neck", and '''Cor Serpentis''' from the [[Latin]] "the Heart of the Serpent". It was a member of indigenous Arabic [[Asterism (astronomy)|asterism]] '''al-Nasaq al-Yamānī''', "the Southern Line" of ''al-Nasaqān'' "the Two Lines".,<ref name=kunitzsch_smart2006/> along with [[Delta Serpentis|δ Ser]] (Qin, Tsin), [[Epsilon Serpentis|ε Ser]] (Ba, Pa), [[Delta Ophiuchi|δ Oph]] (Yed Prior), [[Epsilon Ophiuchi|ε Oph]] (Yed Posterior), [[Zeta Ophiuchi|ζ Oph]] (Han) and [[Gamma Ophiuchi|γ Oph]] (Tsung Ching).<ref name=allen1963/>
| |
| | |
| According to the catalogue of stars in the ''Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars'', ''al-Nasaq al-Yamānī'' or '''Nasak Yamani''' were the title for two stars :[[Delta Serpentis|δ Ser]] as ''Nasak Yamani I'' and [[Epsilon Serpentis|ε Ser]] as ''Nasak Yamani II'' (exclude this star, [[Delta Ophiuchi|δ Oph]], [[Epsilon Ophiuchi|ε Oph]], [[Zeta Ophiuchi|ζ Oph]] and [[Gamma Ophiuchi|γ Oph]])<ref>[http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19720005197_1972005197.pdf Jack W.
