The FUor Candidate V582 Aurigae: First Photometric and Spectroscopic Observations

TL;DR

This paper presents initial photometric and spectroscopic observations of V582 Aurigae, a candidate FU Orionis star, aiming to confirm its nature and contribute to the limited number of known FUor objects.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed photometric and spectroscopic data for V582 Aurigae, a newly identified FUor candidate, enhancing understanding of such rare pre-main sequence stars.

Findings

Photometric monitoring initiated to track brightness variations.

High-resolution spectrum obtained to analyze spectral features.

Results support the FUor candidacy of V582 Aurigae.

Abstract

One of the most attractive events in the pre-main sequence evolution is the FU Orionis (FUor) outburst. Because only a small number of FUor stars have been detected to date, photometric and spectral studies of every new object are of great interest. Recently, a new FUor candidate was discovered by Anton Khruslov - V582 Aur. To confirm the FUors nature of this object we started regular photometric observations with the telescopes of the National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen (Bulgaria). A high-resolution spectrum of V582 Aur was obtained with the 1.93 m telescope in Haute-Provence Observatory (France).
