CX330 (also known as CXOGBS J173643.8-282122) is an extremely isolated young stellar object (YSO) located in the central bulge of the Milky Way, approximately 25,000 light-years from Earth. Identified in 2009 through its X-ray emission, it is the most isolated known young star, situated over 1,000 light-years from the nearest star-forming region (nearest star-forming region from CX330 is NGC 6383 followed by Pipe Nebula and Corona Australis Molecular Cloud).[2] CX330 is a FU Orionis-type protostar undergoing episodic accretion outbursts, making it a unique laboratory for studying star formation in low-density environments.[4][5][6][7][8]
Discovery
[edit]CX330 was first detected in 2009 during a deep X-ray survey of the Galactic Center conducted with the Chandra X-ray Observatory.[9] The source, cataloged as CXOGBS J173643.8-282122, displayed hard X-ray emission characteristic of magnetically active pre-main-sequence stars.[6][2][10]
Follow-up infrared observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope (2007) and WISE (2010) revealed a dramatic brightening of over 2 magnitudes in the mid-infrared, confirming an accretion outburst.[6] Other observations are done using the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) and Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey.[11][12]
