Coatlicue (star)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hypothetical star which gave life to the Sun

Coatlicue is the name given to thehypothetical star that gave rise to theSun and then imploded as asupernova. Coatlicue would have been at least thirty times the mass of the Sun, and while on themain sequence its strong winds would have compressed the dust and gas of the local nebula and given birth to hundreds ofstars, including theSun. The existence and the characteristics of this star were deduced from the presence ofaluminium-26 inmeteorites, which was expelled in the winds of the massive star.^[1]

Name

[edit]

Cōātlīcue is the mother of the Sun in theAztecs'cosmogony.

This name is unofficial; it was proposed by Matthieu Gounelle and Georges Meynet, the authors of an article inAstronomy & Astrophysics.^[1]
