2D spectrum by P.Dubreuil, slitless grism spectrograph


Z
Canis Majoris (Z CMa) is a luminous and irregularly variable young stellar object classified as a Herbig Ae/Be star (HAeBe, intermediate- to high-mass pre–main-sequence stars). The system is a binary composed of a Herbig Be star and an FU Ori star. The Herbig star is embedded in nebulosity.

Coordinates (2000.0) : R.A. = 07h03m43.2s, Decl. = -11°33'06"

This double pre-main sequence star is now relatively brigth, around mV 8, and well placed in the northern sky. It would be interesting to cover the outburst on the whole visual and IR spectrum at low and high resolution as both components of the system have their own spectral contribution.
