Accretion disk
An accretion disk is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffuse material in orbital motion around a massive central body.
See Q Cygni and Accretion disk
American Association of Variable Star Observers
The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) is an international nonprofit organization.
See Q Cygni and American Association of Variable Star Observers
Apparent magnitude
Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.
See Q Cygni and Apparent magnitude
Bright Star Catalogue
The Bright Star Catalogue, also known as the Yale Catalogue of Bright Stars, Yale Bright Star Catalogue, or just YBS, is a star catalogue that lists all stars of stellar magnitude 6.5 or brighter, which is roughly every star visible to the naked eye from Earth. Q Cygni and bright Star Catalogue are bright Star Catalogue objects.
See Q Cygni and Bright Star Catalogue
Cataclysmic variable star
In astronomy, cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) are stars which irregularly increase in brightness by a large factor, then drop back down to a quiescent state.
See Q Cygni and Cataclysmic variable star
Cygnus (constellation)
Cygnus is a northern constellation on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan.
See Q Cygni and Cygnus (constellation)
Durchmusterung
In astronomy, Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) is an astrometric star catalogue of the whole sky, published by the Bonn Observatory in Germany from 1859 to 1863, with an extension published in Bonn in 1886.
See Q Cygni and Durchmusterung
Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt
Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt (25 October 1825 in Eutin, Germany – 7 February 1884 in Athens, Greece) was a German astronomer and geophysicist.
See Q Cygni and Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt
Lacerta
Lacerta is one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union.
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in astronomy, astrophysics and related fields.
See Q Cygni and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Nebula
A nebula (cloud, fog;: nebulae, nebulæ, or nebulas) is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral, or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust.
New General Catalogue
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. Q Cygni and New General Catalogue are NGC objects.
See Q Cygni and New General Catalogue
Nova
A nova (novae or novas) is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star (hence the name "nova", Latin for "new") that slowly fades over weeks or months. Q Cygni and nova are novae.
See Q Cygni and Nova
Orbit
In celestial mechanics, an orbit (also known as orbital revolution) is the curved trajectory of an object such as the trajectory of a planet around a star, or of a natural satellite around a planet, or of an artificial satellite around an object or position in space such as a planet, moon, asteroid, or Lagrange point.
Planetary nebula
A planetary nebula is a type of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives.
See Q Cygni and Planetary nebula
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (often abbreviated as PASP in references and literature) is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal managed by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
See Q Cygni and Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Star
A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.
See Q Cygni and Star
The Astronomical Journal
The Astronomical Journal (often abbreviated AJ in scientific papers and references) is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal owned by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) and currently published by IOP Publishing.
See Q Cygni and The Astronomical Journal
White dwarf
A white dwarf is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.
2MASS
The Two Micron All-Sky Survey, or 2MASS, was an astronomical survey of the whole sky in infrared light. Q Cygni and 2MASS are 2MASS objects.
