Properties


CH Cygni has a mass of 2 M☉ and a radius of 280 R☉. Its white-dwarf companion has a mass of 0.75 M☉, and the orbital period of the two stars is 5689 days.[6] CH Cygni is classified as M7IIIab + Be.[3]

The earliest observations of CH Cygni were made in 1890 by Pickering and Wendel using wedge photometer, and was classified as a M6III variable star in 1924.[8] In 1963 strong H I emissions were observed, indicating CH Cygni was likely in a symbiotic relationship with a white dwarf. Similar emissions were observed in 1965, 1967, 1977, 1992, and 1998.[9] The system was briefly thought to contain a third star[10] but this was later disproved.[6]

In 1984 bipolar jets were detected coming from CH Cygni, which were suspected to be due to accretion from its companion star.[9][8] The luminosity of the system decreased significantly in 1986, likely owing to dust thrown out of the system by the jets or a concurrent helium flash. This dust had dissipated by 2002, with subsequent luminosities returning to pre-1985 levels.[3]
