We clearly resolved the close companion (sep. 0.128\") to NX Pup -- originally discovered by HST -- and measured its JHK magnitudes. A third object at a separation of 7.0\" from NX Pup was identified as a classical T Tauri star so that NX Pup may in fact form a hierarchical triple system. We discuss the evolutionary status of these stars and derive estimates for their spectral types, luminosities, masses and ages.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-09-08T13:34:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pre-main sequence stars", "low-mass star formation", "diffraction limited search", "herbig aebe star nx pup" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 412871 } } }
