Serpens

For the Chinese astronomy constellation, seeSerpens (Chinese astronomy).

Serpens(Ancient Greek:Ὄφις,romanized:Óphis,lit. 'the Serpent') is aconstellationin thenorthern celestial hemisphere.One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomerPtolemy,it remains one of the88 modern constellationsdesignated by theInternational Astronomical Union.It is unique among the modern constellations in being split into two non-contiguous parts,Serpens Caput(Serpent Head) to the west andSerpens Cauda(Serpent Tail) to the east. Between these two halves lies the constellation of Ophiuchus, the "Serpent-Bearer". In figurative representations, the body of the serpent is represented as passing behind Ophiuchus betweenMu SerpentisinSerpens CaputandNu SerpentisinSerpens Cauda.

History

edit
Serpens held by Ophiuchus, as depicted inUrania's Mirror,a set of constellation cards published inLondonc. 1825. Above the tail of the serpent is the now-obsolete constellationTaurus Poniatoviiwhile below it isScutum

InGreek mythology,Serpens represents asnakeheld by the healerAsclepius.Represented in the sky by the constellation Ophiuchus, Asclepius once killed a snake, but the animal was subsequently resurrected after a second snake placed a revival herb on it before its death. As snakes shed their skin every year, they were known as the symbol of rebirth in ancient Greek society, and legend says Asclepius would revive dead humans using the same technique he witnessed. Although this is likely the logic for Serpens' presence with Ophiuchus, the true reason is still not fully known. Sometimes, Serpens was depicted as coiling around Ophiuchus, but the majority of atlases showed Serpens passing either behind Ophiuchus' body or between his legs.[1]

In some ancient atlases, the constellations Serpens and Ophiuchus were depicted as two separate constellations, although more often they were shown as a single constellation. One notable figure to depict Serpens separately wasJohann Bayer;thus, Serpens' stars are cataloged with separateBayer designationsfrom those of Ophiuchus. WhenEugène Delporteestablished modern constellation boundaries in the 1920s, he elected to depict the two separately. However, this posed the problem of how to disentangle the two constellations, with Deporte deciding to split Serpens into two areas—the head and the tail—separated by the continuous Ophiuchus. These two areas became known as Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda,[1]caputbeing the Latin word for head andcaudathe Latin word for tail.[2]

InChinese astronomy,most of the stars of Serpens represented part of a wall surrounding a marketplace, known asTianshi,which was in Ophiuchus and part ofHercules.Serpens also contains a fewChinese constellations.Two stars in the tail represented part ofShilou,the tower with the market office. Another star in the tail representedLiesi,jewel shops. One star in the head (Mu Serpentis) markedTianru,thecrown prince's wet nurse, or sometimesrain.[1]

There were two "serpent" constellations inBabylonian astronomy,known as Mušḫuššu and Bašmu. It appears that Mušḫuššu was depicted as a hybrid of a dragon, a lion and a bird, and loosely corresponded toHydra.Bašmu was ahorned serpent(c.f.Ningishzida) and roughly corresponds to the Ὄφις constellation ofEudoxus of Cniduson which the Ὄφις (Serpens) of Ptolemy is based.[3]

Characteristics

edit

Serpens is the only one of the88 modern constellationsto be split into two disconnected regions in the sky:Serpens Caput(the head) andSerpens Cauda(the tail). The constellation is also unusual in that it depends on another constellation for context; specifically, it is being held by the Serpent Bearer Ophiuchus.[1]

Serpens Caput is bordered byLibrato the south,VirgoandBoötesto the west,Corona Borealisto the north, and Ophiuchus andHerculesto the east; Serpens Cauda is bordered bySagittariusto the south, Scutum andAquilato the east, and Ophiuchus to the north and west. Covering 636.9square degreestotal, it ranks 23rd of the 88 constellations in size. It appears prominently in both the northern and southern skies during the Northern Hemisphere's summer.[4]Its mainasterismconsists of 11 stars, and 108 stars in total are brighter than magnitude 6.5, the traditional limit for naked-eye visibility.[4]

Serpens Caput's boundaries, as set by Belgian astronomerEugène Delportein 1930, are defined by a 10-sided polygon, while Serpens Cauda's are defined by a 22-sided polygon. In theequatorial coordinate system,theright ascensioncoordinates of Serpens Caput's borders lie between15h10.4mand16h22.5m,while thedeclinationcoordinates are between 25.66° and −03.72°. Serpens Cauda's boundaries lie between right ascensions of17h16.9mand18h58.3mand declinations of 06.42° and −16.14°.[5]TheInternational Astronomical Union(IAU) adopted the three-letter abbreviation "Ser" for the constellation in 1922.[5][6]

Head stars

edit
The constellation Serpens (Caput) as it can be seen by the naked eye

Marking the heart of the serpent is the constellation's brightest star,Alpha Serpentis.Traditionally called Unukalhai,[7]is ared giantofspectral typeK2III located approximately 23 parsecs distant with a visualmagnitudeof 2.630 ± 0.009,[8]meaning it can easily be seen with the naked eye even in areas with substantial light pollution. A faint companion is in orbit around the red giant star,[9]although it is not visible to the naked eye. Situated near Alpha isLambda Serpentis,a magnitude 4.42 ± 0.05 star rather similar to the Sun[10]positioned only 12 parsecs away.[11]It has an exoplanet orbiting around it.[12]Anothersolar analogin Serpens is the primary ofPsi Serpentis,a binary star[13]located slightly further away at approximately 14 parsecs.[14]

Beta,Gamma,andIota Serpentisform a distinctive triangular shape marking the head of the snake, withKappa Serpentis(the proper name is Gudja[15]) being roughly midway between Gamma and Iota. The brightest of the four with an apparent magnitude of roughly 3.67, Beta Serpentis is a white main-sequence star roughly 160 parsecs distant.[16]It is likely that a nearby 10th-magnitude star[17]is physically associated with Beta, although it is not certain.[18]TheMira variableR Serpentis,situated between Beta and Gamma, is visible to the naked eye at its maximum of 5th-magnitude, but, typical of Mira variables, it can fade to below magnitude 14.[19]Gamma Serpentis itself is an F-typesubgiantlocated only 11 parsecs distant and thus is quite bright, being of magnitude 3.84 ± 0.05.[20]The star is known to showsolar-like oscillations.[21]Iota Serpentis is a binary star system.[22]

Delta Serpentis,forming part of the body of the snake between the heart and the head, is a multiple star system[23]positioned around 70 parsecs from Earth. Consisting of four stars, the system has a total apparent magnitude of 3.79 as viewed from Earth,[24]although two of the stars, with a combined apparent magnitude of 3.80, provide nearly all the light.[25]The primary, a white subgiant, is aDelta Scuti variablewith an average apparent magnitude of 4.23.[26]Positioned very near Delta, both in the night sky and likely in actual space at an estimated distance of around 70 parsecs,[27]is thebarium star16 Serpentis.[28]Another notable variable star visible to the naked eye isChi Serpentis,anAlpha² Canum Venaticorum variablesituated midway between Delta and Beta which varies from its median brightness of 5.33 by 0.03 magnitudes over a period of approximately 1.5 days.[29]Chi Serpentis is achemically peculiarstar.[30]

The two stars in Serpens Caput that form part of the Snake's body below the heart areEpsilonand Mu Serpentis, both third-magnitudeA-type main-sequence stars.[31][32]Both have a peculiarity: Epsilon is anAm star,[33]while Mu is a binary.[34]Located slightly northwest of Mu is36 Serpentis,another A-type main-sequence star. This star also has a peculiarity; it is a binary with the primary component being aLambda Boötis star,meaning that it has solar-like amounts ofcarbon,nitrogen,andoxygen,while containing very low amounts ofiron peakelements.[35]The secondary star has also been a source of X-ray emissions.[36]25 Serpentis,positioned a few degrees northeast of Mu Serpentis, is aspectroscopic binary[37]consisting of a hotB-type giantand an A-type main-sequence star. The primary is aslowly pulsating B star,which causes the system to vary by 0.03 magnitudes.[38]

Serpens Caput contains manyRR Lyrae variables,although most are too faint to be seen without professional photography. The brightest isVY Serpentis,only of 10th magnitude. This star's period has been increasing by approximately 1.2 seconds per century.[39]A variable star of a different kind isTau4Serpentis,a cool red giant that pulsates between magnitudes 5.89 and 7.07 in 87 days.[40]This star has been found to display an inverseP Cygni profile,[41]where cold infalling gas on to the star createsredshiftedhydrogen absorption lines next to the normal emission lines.[42]

Several stars in Serpens have been found to haveplanets.The brightest,Omega Serpentis,located between Epsilon and Mu, is anorange giantwith a planet of at least 1.7Jupiter-masses.[43]NN Serpentis,an eclipsingpost-common-envelope binaryconsisting of awhite dwarfand ared dwarf,[44]is very likely to have two planets causing variations in the period of the eclipses.[45]Although it does not have a planet, the solar analogHD 137510has been found to have abrown dwarfcompanion within thebrown-dwarf desert.[46]

PSR B1534+11is a system consisting of twoneutron starsorbiting each other, one of which is apulsarwith a period of 37.9 milliseconds. Situated approximately 1000 parsecs distant, the system was used to testAlbert Einstein's theory ofgeneral relativity,validating the system's relativistic parameters to within 0.2% of values predicted by the theory.[47]TheX-rayemission from the system has been found to be present when the non-pulsar star intersects the equatorialpulsar windof the pulsar, and the system's orbit has been found to vary slightly.[48]

Tail stars

edit
The constellation Serpens (Cauda) as it can be seen by the naked eye

The brightest star in the tail,Eta Serpentis,is similar to Alpha Serpentis' primary in that it is a red giant of spectral class K. This star, however, is known to exhibit solar-like oscillations over a period of approximately 2.16 hours.[49][50]The other two stars in Serpens Cauda forming its asterism areThetaandXi Serpentis.Xi, where the asterism crosses over to Mu Serpentis in the head, is a triple star system[9]located approximately 105 parsecs away.[51][52]Two of the stars, with a combined apparent magnitude of around 3.5, form a spectroscopic binary with anangular separationof only 2.2 milliarcseconds,[53]and thus cannot be resolved with modern equipment. The primary is awhite giantwith an excess ofstrontium.[51]Theta, forming the tip of the tail, is also a multiple system, consisting of two A-type main-sequence stars with a combined apparent magnitude of around 4.1 separated by almost half an arcminute.[9]There is also a third G-type star with a mass and radius similar to that of the Sun.[54]

Lying near the boundary with Ophiuchus areZeta,Nu,andOmicron Serpentis.All three are 4th-magnitude main-sequence stars, with Nu and Omicron being of spectral type A[55][56]and Zeta being of spectral type F.[57]Nu is a single star[9]with a 9th-magnitude visual companion,[58]while Omicron is a Delta Scuti variable with amplitude variations of 0.01 magnitudes.[59]In 1909, thesymbiotic nova[60]RT Serpentisappeared near Omicron, although it only reached a maximum magnitude of 10.[61]

The star system59 Serpentis,also known as d Serpentis, is a triple star system[62]consisting of a spectroscopic binary containing an A-type star and an orange giant[63]and an orange giant secondary.[64]The system showsirregular variations in brightnessbetween magnitudes 5.17 and 5.2.[65]In 1970, the novaFH Serpentisappeared just slightly north of 59 Serpentis, reaching a maximum brightness of 4.5.[66]Also near 59 Serpentis in theSerpens Cloudare severalOrion variables.MWC 297is aHerbig Be starthat in 1994 exhibited a largeX-rayflare and increased in X-ray luminosity by five times before returning to the quiescent state.[67]The star also appears to possess acircumstellar disk.[68]Another Orion variable in the region isVV Serpentis,a Herbig Ae star that has been found to exhibit Delta Scuti pulsations.[69]VV Serpentis has also, like MWC 297, been found to have a dusty disk surrounding it,[70]and is also aUX Orionis star,[71]meaning that it shows irregular variations in its brightness.[72]

The starHR 6958,also known as MV Serpentis, is an Alpha2Canum Venaticorum variable that is faintly visible to the naked eye.[73]The star's metal abundance is ten times higher than the Sun for most metals at the iron peak and up to 1,000 times more for heavier elements. It has also been found to contain excesssilicon.[74]Barely visible to the naked eye isHD 172365,[75]a likely post-blue stragglerin the open clusterIC 4756that contains a large excess oflithium.[76]HD 172189,also located in IC 4756, is anAlgol variableeclipsing binary[77]with a 5.70 day period. The primary star in the system is also a Delta Scuti variable, undergoing multiple pulsation frequencies, which, combined with the eclipses, causes the system to vary by around a tenth of a magnitude.[78]

As thegalactic planepasses through it, Serpens Cauda contains many massiveOB stars.Several of these are visible to the naked eye, such asNW Serpentis,an earlyBe starthat has been found to be somewhat variable. The variability is interesting; according to one study, it could be one of the first discovered hybrids betweenBeta Cephei variablesand slowly pulsating B stars.[79]Although not visible to the naked eye,HD 167971(MY Serpentis) is aBeta Lyrae variabletriple system consisting of three very hotO-type stars.A member of the clusterNGC 6604,[80]the two eclipsing stars are both blue giants, with one being of the very early spectral type O7.5III. The remaining star is either a blue giant orsupergiantof a late O or early B spectral type.[81]Also an eclipsing[82]binary, theHD 166734system consists of two O-type blue supergiants in orbit around each other.[83]Less extreme in terms of mass and temperature isHD 161701,a spectroscopic binary consisting of aB-typeprimary and anApsecondary, although it is the only known spectroscopic binary to consist of a star with excess ofmercuryandmanganeseand an Ap star.[84]

South of theEagle Nebulaon the border with Sagittarius is the eclipsing binaryW Serpentis,whose primary is a white giant that is interacting with the secondary. The system has been found to contain anaccretion disk,and was one of the first discoveredSerpentids,which are eclipsing binaries containing exceptionally strongfar-ultravioletspectral lines.[85]It is suspected that such Serpentids are in an earlier evolutionary phase, and will evolve first intodouble periodic variablesand then classical Algol variables.[86]Also near the Eagle Nebula is the eclipsingWolf–RayetbinaryCV Serpentis,consisting of a Wolf–Rayet star and a hot O-type subgiant. The system is surrounded by a ring-shapednebula,likely formed during the Wolf–Rayet phase of the primary.[87]The eclipses of the system vary erratically, and although there are two theories as to why, neither of them is completely consistent with current understanding of stars.[88]

Serpens Cauda contains a fewX-ray binaries.One of these,GX 17+2,is alow-mass X-ray binaryconsisting of a neutron star and, as in all low-mass X-ray binaries, a low-mass star. The system has been classified as aSco-like Z source,meaning that its accretion is near theEddington limit.[89]The system has also been found to approximately every 3 days brighten by around 3.5K-bandmagnitudes, possibly due to the presence of asynchrotron jet.[90]Another low-mass X-ray binary,Serpens X-1,undergoes occasional X-ray bursts. One in particular lasted nearly four hours, possibly explained by the burning of carbon in "a heavy element ocean".[91]

Φ 332 (Finsen 332) is a tiny and difficult double-double star at 18:45 / +5°30', namedTweedledee and Tweedledumby South African astronomerWilliam Stephen Finsen,who was struck by the nearly identical position angles and separations at the time of his 1953 discovery.[92][93][94]Gliese 710is a star that is expected to pass very close to the Solar System in around 1.29 million years.[95][96][97]

Messier 5,a globular cluster that can be seen with the naked eye under good conditions

As the galactic plane does not pass through this part of Serpens, a view to many galaxies beyond it is possible. However, a few structures of the Milky Way Galaxy are present in Serpens Caput, such as Messier 5, aglobular clusterpositioned approximately 8° southwest of α Serpentis, next to the star5 Serpentis.Barely visible to the naked eye under good conditions,[98]and is located approximately 25,000 ly distant.[99]Messier 5 contains a large number of known RR Lyrae variable stars,[100]and is receding from us at over 50 km/s.[101]The cluster contains twomillisecond pulsars,one of which is in a binary, allowing theproper motionof the cluster to be measured. The binary could help our understanding ofneutron degenerate matter;the current median mass, if confirmed, would exclude any "soft"equation of statefor such matter.[102]The cluster has been used to test formagnetic dipole momentsin neutrinos, which could shed light on some hypothetical particles such as theaxion.[103]The brightest stars in Messier 5 are around magnitude 10.6,[104]and the globular cluster was first observed byWilliam Herschelin 1791.[105]

Another globular cluster isPalomar 5,found just south of Messier 5. Many stars are leaving this globular cluster due to the Milky Way's gravity, forming atidal tailover 30000 light-years long.[106]It is over 11 billion years old.[107]It has also been flattened and distorted by tidal effects.[108]

TheL134/L183is adark nebulacomplex that, along with a third cloud, is likely formed by fragments of a single original cloud located 36 degrees away from the galactic plane, a large distance for dark nebulae.[109]The entire complex is thought to be around 140 parsecs distant.[110]L183, also referred to as L134N, is home to several infrared sources, indicating pre-stellar sources[111]thought to present the first known observation of the contraction phase between cloud cores and prestellar cores.[112]The core is split into three regions,[113]with a combined mass of around 25 solar masses.[114]

Outside of the Milky Way, there are no bright deep-sky objects for amateur astronomers in Serpens Caput, with nothing else above 10th magnitude. The brightest isNGC 5962,aspiral galaxypositioned around 28 megaparsecs distant[115]with an apparent magnitude of 11.34.[116]Two supernovae have been observed in the galaxy,[117]and NGC 5962 has two satellite galaxies.[118]Slightly fainter isNGC 5921,abarred spiral galaxywith aLINER-typeactive galactic nucleussituated somewhat closer at a distance of 21 megaparsecs.[119]Atype II supernovawas observed in this galaxy in 2001 and was designated SN 2001X.[120]Fainter still are the spiralsNGC 5964[121]andNGC 6118,with the latter being host to thesupernovaSN 2004dk.[122]

Hoag's Object,a galaxy in Serpens and a member of the very rare class known asring galaxies.

Hoag's Object, located 600 million light-years from Earth, is a member of the very rare class of galaxies known as ring galaxies. The outer ring is largely composed of young blue stars while the core is made up of older yellow stars. The predominant theory regarding its formation is that the progenitor galaxy was a barred spiral galaxy whose arms had velocities too great to keep the galaxy's coherence and therefore detached.[123]Arp 220is another unusual galaxy in Serpens. The prototypicalultraluminous infrared galaxy,Arp 220 is somewhat closer than Hoag's Object at 250 million light-years from Earth. It consists of two large spiral galaxies in the process ofcollidingwith their nuclei orbiting at a distance of 1,200 light-years, causing extensivestar formationthroughout both components. It possesses a large cluster of more than a billion stars, partially covered by thick dust clouds near one of the galaxies' core.[123]Another interacting galaxy pair, albeit in an earlier stage, consists of the galaxiesNGC 5953andNGC 5954.In this case, both areactive galaxies,with the former aSeyfert 2 galaxyand the latter a LINER-type galaxy. Both are undergoing a burst of star formation triggered by the interaction.[124]

Seyfert's Sextetis agroupof six galaxies, four of which areinteracting gravitationallyand two of which simply appear to be a part of the group despite their greater distance. The gravitationally boundclusterlies at a distance of 190 millionlight-yearsfrom Earth and is approximately 100,000 light-years across, making Seyfert's Sextet one of the densest galaxy groups known. Astronomers predict that the four interacting galaxies will eventuallymergeto form a largeelliptical galaxy.[123]The radio source3C 326was originally thought to emanate from a giant elliptical galaxy. However, in 1990, it was shown that the source is instead a brighter, smaller galaxy a few arcseconds north.[125]This object, designated 3C 326 N, has enough gas for star formation, but is being inhibited due to the energy from the radio galaxy nucleus.[126]

A much larger galaxy cluster is the redshift-0.0354Abell 2063.[127]The cluster is thought to be interacting with the nearby galaxy groupMKW 3s,based on radial velocity measurements of galaxies and the positioning of thecD galaxyat the center of Abell 2063.[128]The active galaxy at the center of MKW 3s—NGC 5920—appears to be creating a bubble of hot gas from its radio activity.[129]Near the 5th-magnitude starPi SerpentisliesAWM 4,a cluster containing an excess of metals in the intracluster medium. The central galaxy,NGC 6051,is aradio galaxythat is probably responsible for this enrichment.[130]Similar to AWM 4, the clusterAbell 2052has central cD radio galaxy,3C 317.This radio galaxy is believed to have restarted after a period of inactivity less than 200 years ago.[131]The galaxy has over 40,000 known globular clusters, the highest known total of any galaxy as of 2002.[132]

A composite image of3C 321,a merging active galaxy pair

Consisting of two quasars with a separation of less than 5arcseconds,the quasar pair4C 11.50is one of the visually closest pairs of quasars in the sky. The two have markedly different redshifts, however, and are thus unrelated.[133]The foreground member of the pair (4C 11.50 A) does not have enough mass to refract light from the background component (4C 11.50 B) enough to produce alensedimage, although it does have a true companion of its own.[134]An even stranger galaxy pair is3C 321.Unlike the previous pair, the two galaxies making up 3C 321 are interacting with each other and are in the process of merging. Both members appear to be active galaxies; the primary radio galaxy may be responsible for the activity in the secondary by means of the former's jet driving material onto the latter'ssupermassive black hole.[135]

An example ofgravitational lensingis found in the radio galaxy3C 324.First thought to be a single overluminous radio galaxy with a redshift ofz= 1.206, it was found in 1987 to actually be two galaxies, with the radio galaxy at the aforementioned redshift being lensed by another galaxy at redshiftz= 0.845. The first example of a multiply-imaged radio galaxy discovered,[136]the source appears to be an elliptical galaxy with adust laneobscuring our view of the visual and ultraviolet emission from the nucleus.[137]In even shorter wavelengths, theBL Lac objectPG 1553+113is a heavy emitter ofgamma rays.This object is the most distant found to emit photons with energies in theTeVrange as of 2007.[138]The spectrum is unique, with hard emission in some ranges of the gamma-ray spectrum in stark contrast to soft emission in others.[139]In 2012, the object flared in the gamma-ray spectrum, tripling in luminosity for two nights, allowing the redshift to be accurately measured asz= 0.49.[140]

Severalgamma-ray bursts(GRBs) have been observed in Serpens Caput, such asGRB 970111,one of the brightest GRBs observed. An optical transient event associated with this GRB has not been found, despite its intensity. The host galaxy initially also proved elusive, however it now appears that the host is aSeyfert I galaxylocated at redshiftz= 0.657.[141]The X-ray afterglow of the GRB has also been much fainter than for other dimmer GRBs.[142]More distant isGRB 060526(redshiftz= 3.221), from which X-ray and optical afterglows were detected. This GRB was very faint for a long-duration GRB.[143]

Tail objects

edit
ThePillars of Creation,a well-knownstar-forming regionin the Eagle Nebula made famous by this Hubble photograph

Part of the galactic plane passes through the tail, and thus Serpens Cauda is rich in deep-sky objects within the Milky Way galaxy. The Eagle Nebula and its associated star cluster,Messier 16lie around 5,700[144]light-years from Earth in the direction of theGalactic Center.The nebula measures 70 light-years by 50 light-years and contains the Pillars of Creation, three dust clouds that became famous for the image taken by theHubble Space Telescope.The stars being born in the Eagle Nebula, added to those with an approximate age of 5 million years have an average temperature of 45,000kelvinsand produce prodigious amounts of radiation that will eventuallydestroythe dust pillars.[123]Despite its fame, the Eagle Nebula is fairly dim, with an integrated magnitude of approximately 6.0. The star-forming regions in the nebula are oftenevaporating gaseous globules;unlikeBok globulesthey only hold oneprotostar.[145]

North of Messier 16, at a distance of approximately 2000 parsecs, is theOB associationSerpens OB2,containing over 100 OB stars. Around 5 million years old, the association appears to still contain star-forming regions, and the light from its stars is illuminating theHII regionS 54.[146]Within this HII region is the open clusterNGC 6604,which is the same age as the surrounding OB association,[147]and the cluster is now thought to simply be the densest part of it.[148]The cluster appears to be producing a thermal chimney of ionized gas, caused by the interaction of the gas from thegalactic diskwith thegalactic halo.[146]

Another open cluster in Serpens Cauda isIC 4756,containing at least one naked-eye star, HD 172365[149](another naked-eye star in the vicinity,HD 171586,is most likely unrelated). Positioned approximately 440 parsecs distant,[150]the cluster is estimated to be around 800 million years old, quite old for an open cluster.[151]Despite the presence of the Milky Way in Serpens Cauda, one globular cluster can be found:NGC 6535,although invisible to the naked eye, can be made out in small telescopes just north of Zeta Serpentis. Rather small and sparse for a globular cluster,[152]this cluster contains no known RR Lyrae variables, which is unusual for a globular cluster.[153]

MWC 922is a star surrounded by aplanetary nebula.Dubbed theRed Square Nebuladue to its similarities to theRed Rectangle Nebula,the planetary nebula appears to be a nearly perfect square with a dark band around the equatorial regions. The nebula contains concentric rings, which are similar to those seen in the supernovaSN 1987A.[154]MWC 922 itself is anFS Canis Majoris variable,[155]meaning that it is a Be star containing exceptionally brighthydrogenemission linesas well as selectforbidden lines,likely due to the presence of a close binary.[156]East of Xi Serpentis is another planetary nebula,Abell 41,containing the binary starMT Serpentisat its center. The nebula appears to have a bipolar structure, and the axis of symmetry of the nebula has been found to be within 5° of the line perpendicular to the orbital plane of the stars, strengthening the link between binary stars and bipolar planetary nebulae.[157]On the other end of the stellar age spectrum isL483,a dark nebula which contains the protostarIRAS 18418-0440.Although classified as aclass 0 protostar,it has some unusual features for such an object, such as a lack of high-velocitystellar winds,and it has been proposed that this object is in transition between class 0 andclass I.[158]Avariable nebulaexists around the protostar, although it is only visible in infrared light.[159]

Westerhout 40,one of the nearest sites of massive star formation

TheSerpens cloudis a massive star-formingmolecular cloudsituated in the southern part of Serpens Cauda. Only two million years old[160]and 420 parsecs distant,[161]the cloud is known to contain many protostars such asSerpens FIRS 1[162]andSerpens SVS 20.[163]TheSerpens Southprotocluster was uncovered by NASA'sSpitzer Space Telescopein the southern portion of the cloud,[164]and it appears that star formation is still continuing in the region.[165]Another site of star formation is the Westerhout 40 complex, consisting of a prominent HII region adjacent to a molecular cloud.[166]Located around 500 parsecs distant,[167]it is one of the nearest massive regions of star formation, but as the molecular cloud obscures the HII region, rendering it and its embedded cluster tough to see visibly, it is not as well-studied as others.[168]The embedded cluster likely contains over 600 stars above 0.1 solar masses,[169]with several massive stars, including at least one O-type star, being responsible for lighting the HII region and the production of abubble.[167]

Despite the presence of the Milky Way, several active galaxies are visible in Serpens Cauda as well, such asPDS 456,found near Xi Serpentis. The most intrinsically luminous nearby active galaxy,[170]this AGN has been found to be extremely variable in theX-ray spectrum.This has allowed light to be shed on the nature of the supermassive black hole at the center, likely aKerr black hole.[171]It is possible that the quasar is undergoing a transition from an ultraluminous infrared galaxy to a classical radio-quiet quasar, but there are problems with this theory, and the object appears to be an exceptional object that does not completely lie within current classification systems.[170]Nearby isNRAO 530,ablazarthat has been known to flare in the X-rays occasionally. One of these flares was for less than 2000 seconds, making it the shortest flare ever observed in a blazar as of 2004.[172]The blazar also appears to show periodic variability in itsradio waveoutput over two different periods of six and ten years.[173]

Meteor showers

edit

There are two daytimemeteor showersthatradiatefrom Serpens, theOmega Serpentidsand theSigma Serpentids.Both showers peak between December 18 and December 25.[174]
