双星
由于BAT99-116出现只有星风互撞双星才会出现的大量X射线辐射以及光度周期性的变化,BAT99-116被普遍认为是周期为155天的双星系统。[7]
物理特性
BAT99-116是一颗表面温度超过50,000K的沃尔夫-拉叶星。[2][1]据推测,BAT-116在诞生之初约有275 M☉,[5]此类恒星将会产生极强的恒星风,在其诞生以来BAT99-116已经损失了几十倍太阳质量。[4]由于BAT99-116处于双星系统内,其本身更的温度、光度以及质量都是难以确定的。[2]
演化
尽管由于内部的对流融合使得BAT99-116的表面出现了氦和氮的发射谱线,但目前仍普遍认为BAT99-116还处于氢燃烧阶段。 据推断,BAT99-116将很快成为氢耗尽的沃尔夫-拉叶星,届时它将成为一颗蓝特超巨星或高光度蓝变星。再之后BAT99-116将不断的脱去其外壳,成为一颗光谱为WO型、表面温度接近200,000K的沃尔夫-拉叶星,最终BAT99-116将会发生Ic型的超新星爆发而成为黑洞。[8]
