NY Virginis

NY Virginis is a binary star about 1,800 light-years away. The primary belongs to the rare class of subdwarf B stars, being former red giants with their hydrogen envelope completely stripped by a stellar companion. The companion is a red dwarf star.[7] The binary nature of NY Virginis was first identified in 1998,[8]and the extremely short orbital period of 0.101016 d, together with brightness variability on the timescale of 200 seconds was noticed, resulting in the identification of the primary star as a B-type subdwarf in 2003.[9] Under a proposed classification scheme for hot subdwarfs it would be class sdB1VII:He1. This non-standard system indicates that it is a "normal" luminosity for a hot subdwarf and that the spectrum is dominated by hydrogen rather than helium.[10]

Planetary system

In 2011 one superjovian planet NY Virginis (AB) b on a wide orbit was discovered utilising the eclipse timing method, and one more was marked as suspected.[11] The second planet, NY Virginis (AB) c, was confirmed in 2014. Orbits of these two planets are near or at a 3:10 mutual orbital resonance.[6] The planetary system parameters were updated in 2019, because significant eccentricity of the orbits was detected.[3]
