Alcyone, along with its neighboring stars in the Pleiades cluster, formed between 75 and 150 million years ago. This open cluster is among the closest star clusters to Earth.

Alcyone is a blue-white star of spectral type B5IIIe, indicating that emission lines are present in its spectrum. Alcyone has surface average temperatures of 12,258 K or 2.2 times hotter than our Sun’s. tous les grands naissants de la motocyclette de l’époque : Minerva, Peugeot, Terrot, N.S.U., Alcyon etc. Woodhouse, Sidney Chawner (1910).

Alcyone is the third brightest star in the constellation of Taurus after Aldebaran and Elnath, and the brightest star in the Pleiades cluster, the second being Atlas. Beekes, Robert Stephen Paul; van Beek, Lucien (2010). Etymological Dictionary of Greek. Vol.1. Leiden: Brill. p.71. ISBN 978-90-04-17420-7. When the sisters were chased by the mortal hunter Orion for their beauty, Artemis begged with Zeus to step in to help. Instead of offering support to the nymphs, he turned them into doves and they fled into the heavens, well beyond Orion’s reach but also no longer Artemis’s companions. In rage over losing her friends, the goddess killed the hunter Orion with a scorpion after persuading her brother Apollo. That act offended Zeus, who then placed the dead hunter among the stars to pursue the Pleiades for all of eternity, where the constellations are seen today. Of all the Pleiades stars, Alcyone shines 1,000 times more luminous. At one point Maia shone brighter than Alcyone, but that is no longer the case; Alcyone is 1,000 times more luminous. Some say it represents sibling rivalry. Alcyone Family Can find no direct evidence that JAP engines were built in France, but there are references to them being assembled there so possibly castings were made. Alcyon used JAP engines in 1925, apparently, but only for that year. Can you supply images?

I wouldn’t know actually. But I am raising the question since Alcyon wasn’t too happy when Tour de France director Henri Desgrange decided in 1930 to allow only national teams to compete in the world’s toughest cycling race of that time. We also know that Alcyon had a very strong relationship with Belgian cycling since some of the best Belgian riders had been winning the Tour de France and many classic races on their Alcyon Bicycles. Odiel Defraeye was the first Belgian winning the Tour de France in 1912, on a genuine blue Alcyon bicycle. But also Maurice Dewaele, Romain and Sylvère Maes were part of the strong professional Alcyon cycling team when winning their Tour. et de belle mécanique, il ne pouvait bien entendu rester insensible au destin exceptionnel de ses aïeux. The primary star in the Alcyone star system is Alcyone A. It is a giant blue-white star of spectral type B5IIIe. It is possible that the earlier myth was a simpler version of the one by Nicander, where a woman named Alcyone mourned her unnamed husband; Ceyx was probably added later due to him being an important figure in mythology and poetry, and also having a wife whose name was Alcyone (as evidenced from the Hesiodic poem Wedding of Ceyx). [18] Halcyon days [ edit ] Alcyone C is a Delta Scuti variable star. Its brightness varies from magnitude 8.25 to 8.30 with a period of 1.13 hours. Alcyone D is a white main-sequence star with a visual magnitude of 9.15.

The giant blue star is also 2,030 times brighter than our Sun, though most of its output is in the invisible ultraviolet part of the spectrum. Alcyone is also cataloged as a Be star, since it spins very fast, with an estimated rotational velocity of 149 km / 92.5 mi per second. Alcyone was a Thessalian princess, the daughter of King Aeolus of Aeolia, either by Enarete [10] or Aegiale. [11] She was the sister of Salmoneus, Athamas, Sisyphus, Cretheus, Perieres, Deioneus, Magnes, Calyce, Canace, Pisidice and Perimede. In Greek mythology, Alcyone (or dubiously Halcyone) [1] ( / æ l ˈ s aɪ ə ˌ n i, h æ l ˈ s aɪ ə ˌ n i/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλκυόνη, romanized: Alkyónē) and Ceyx ( / ˈ s iː ɪ k s/; Κήϋξ, Kḗÿx) were a wife and husband who incurred the wrath of the god Zeus for their romantic hubris. The motorbike has a number engraved on the frame of the car (73193) and another number on the engine (92085).

The latter catalog lists Alcyone as the primary component and three other companions. Alcyone B is a white main-sequence star with an apparent magnitude of 6.28, located at a separation of 117” from Alcyone A. One of the first telescopic observations conducted on the Pleiades was during the 1610s. Galileo Galilei observed the bright stars and the cluster and it is noted that he may well be the first to have done so.The closest companion to Alcyone A has a very low mass and is less than 1 milli-arcsecond away, with an orbital period of around 4 days. The third star has around half the mass of Alcyone A, and they are separated by 0.031 arcseconds – the same distance from the Sun to Jupiter. They have an orbital period of 830 days.
