Candidate Thorne–Żytkow object in the constellation Tucana
HV 11417 is a candidateThorne–Żytkow object in theSmall Magellanic Cloud , put forward in a paper by Emma Beasor and collaborators. The paper also claims that another candidate for the Thorne–Żytkow object,HV 2112 , was not a Thorne–Żytkow object because it seemingly lacked any distinguishing quality which would indicate that classification.[ 4] [ 10] Gaia 's 3rd data release the star has been measured to have a negative parallax, suggesting a distance of more than 103,000 light-years (32,000 pc) at the 3-sigma level, and a proper motion consistent with Small Magellanic Cloud stars in its region of the galaxy.[ 2]
