Real Life Information
Muphrid, also known as Eta Boötis, is a real star system located in the constellation of Boötes. It is a binary star system, consisting of two stars that orbit around a common center of mass. The primary star, Eta Boötis A, is a giant star, while the secondary star, Eta Boötis B, is a dwarf star.
Muphrid is approximately 37 light-years away from Earth, making it one of the nearest star systems to our own. It is visible to the naked eye and is one of the brighter stars in the night sky.
Star System Details
The primary star in the Muphrid system, Eta Boötis A, is a G-type giant star. This means it is a star that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core and has begun to evolve off the main sequence. It is larger and brighter than our Sun, with about 1.7 times the Sun's mass and 11 times its radius. It has a surface temperature of about 5,000 Kelvin, which gives it a yellowish color similar to our Sun.
The secondary star, Eta Boötis B, is a red dwarf star. Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe, and they are much smaller and cooler than our Sun. Eta Boötis B has about 0.4 times the mass of the Sun and a surface temperature of about 3,500 Kelvin. It is much fainter than the primary star and is not visible to the naked eye.
The two stars in the Muphrid system orbit each other at a distance of about 35 astronomical units (AU), which is roughly the distance between the Sun and Pluto. The orbital period of the system is about 180 years.
Observation and Discovery
Muphrid was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. It is one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations.
The binary nature of the Muphrid system was discovered in 1899 by the American astronomer S. W. Burnham. The secondary star, Eta Boötis B, is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, but it can be detected with a telescope.
Future Study
Muphrid is a target of interest for future astronomical studies. Because it is relatively close to Earth and contains a giant star and a dwarf star, it provides a valuable opportunity to study these two different types of stars in detail. In addition, the Muphrid system is old enough that it could potentially host planets with life.
