WR 46 (DI Crucis) is a Wolf-Rayet star in the constellation of the Southern Cross of apparent magnitude +10.8. It is located at 55 arcmin north of Theta2 Crucis. The star is a member of the distant stellar association OB4 Cru, and is around 4,000 parsecs or 13,000 light years from the Solar System.

Features

WR 46 has spectral type WN3, with peculiarities in the spectrum including unusually broad emission lines. Its spectrum is characterized by the presence of strong lines of NV and HeII and the absence of hydrogen lines. It is known as a weak-lined WNE star because of the high temperature but relatively weak emission strength.[7]

The physical parameters of WR 46 are all estimates from assumptions about the distance and models for stars of its type, complicated by the suspicion that there is a companion star. The effective temperature is over 110,000K, the luminosity greater than 600,000 times the solar luminosity ({{Solar luminosity|link=y}}), the mass around 25 times that of the Sun ({{Solar mass|link=y}}) and a radius of 2.9 times the solar radius ({{Solar radius|link=y}}). The terminal velocity of the stellar wind reaches 2450 km/s with a total mass loss rate of 4 × 10−6 {{Solar mass}} per year.

WR 46 is a known source of X-rays, an aspect that was discovered by the Einstein Observatory.[8] The X-ray luminosity between 0.2 and 10.0 keV is 7.7 × 1032 erg/s. Its X-ray spectrum is dominated by a soft component but there is also a hard component above 3 keV (a hard tail).

Variability

WR 46 exhibits complex variability on relatively short time scales of a few hours. In the past there have been regular but intermittent changes in the radial velocity, multiple periods and photometric variation at some wavelengths, particularly ultraviolet. It has been proposed that this short-term behavior is due to non-radial pulsations, fast rotational modulation, or the presence of a lower-mass companion.[9] Theories that are now discounted include WR 46 being a Super soft X-ray source[21] or a V Sagittae star,[10]

The radial velocity changes of the spectral lines originating most deeply within the stellar wind show clear radial velocity variations with a period of 7.9 hours. However the lines do not change their shape or intensity, which would be expected from a pulsating star[11] Non-radial pulsations have been proposed, with multiple pulsation periods of varying amplitude accounting for the apparently irregular brightness changes.[7]

Binary star

WR 46 has been suspected to be a binary system with an OB companion. The orbital period of the system has been reported at 0.311 days[12] and 0.329 days.[13] Most recent research refutes the idea of a companion, instead favoring the single WN star theory.[14]
