The first massive stars formed from the dense gas will emit energetic light and winds that erode, fragment, and sculpt their birthplace. ... After tens of millions of years, the dust boils away, the gas gets swept away, and all that is left is a naked open cluster of stars. ... NGC 6188 and NGC 6164 . ...

... 2006 February 26 . Inside the Eagle Nebula . ... A closer look at the Eagle Nebula , however, shows the bright region is actually a window into the center of a larger dark shell of dust . Through this window, a brightly-lit workshop appears where a whole open cluster of stars is being formed. ... Already visible are several young bright blue stars whose light and winds are burning away and pushing back the remaining filaments and walls of gas and dust. ... About APOD | ...

Henize 206 is a region of star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud of the approximate scale of the Orion belt and sword. Our Spitzer Space Telescope infrared images and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) optical images show that the region is experiencing very energetic star formation. ... A few percent of the total flux from this brightest region in Henize 206 emanates from infrared peaks of subparsec scale. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...

8th of February 2015 . International Year of Light 2015 . High resolution radio emission from RCW 49 . ... Benaglia et al. (2013) analyse Molonglo 843 MHz and ATCA 5.5 / 9 GHz radio continuum data. They find two radio shells closely matching the Spitzer infrared emission, showing pillars, filaments and a bright bridge. The image shows the ATCA 9 GHz radio continuum emission in red , the Spitzer 3.6 micron emission in blue and the Spitzer 8 micron emission in green . ... today * ATNF | ...

... NGC 281 (Sharpless 184) is a bustling cradle of star formation about 10,000 light years away. ... The central stars are being formed from the surrounding gas, which emits a large amount of hydrogen alpha (Ha) light after being excited by stellar radiation. ... The dark areas overlaying the brighter ones in the middle of the image are dense clouds of gas known as Bok Globules. ... 4) Image registration . ...

... It was shown in the early 1980's that spectral lines formed around 1-2.5 x 10 5 K were enhanced in radiance by factors up to 15-25 over the normal quiet Sun. From the dynamical viewpoint, this would suggest a pressure imbalance between the sunspot and the surrounding region. ... Here, the electron density was evaluated over a bright sunspot plume region using lines within the O V 760? multiplet. ... The derived densities in all four regions are indicated. ...

... We report on our ongoing project ``Infrared Study of HII Regions Associated with Small Clouds.' ... These IR data, combined with optical imaging (which will be obtained from the IAC-80 telescope), IRAS survey maps, and existing CO observations of the associated clouds, will allow us to undertake a detailed investigation of the gas-to-dust mass ratio, initial mass function and the star-formation efficiency in these complexes. ...

This image of the region surrounding the reflection nebula Messier 78, just to the north of OrionтАЩs belt, shows clouds of cosmic dust threaded through the nebula like a string of pearls. The submillimeter-wavelength observations, made with the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope and shown here in orange, use the heat glow of interstellar dust grains to show astronomers where new stars are being formed. ...

These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

Star formation is often best manifested by bright H II regions.These are regions of hydrogen which have been ionized by ultraviolet photons which are emitted from massive stars (typically stars more than 20 times the mass of the Sun). ... A narrowband filter image centered on this wavelength will then readily reveal these H II regions and hence the current sites of star formation in a galaxy, The luminous blobs that can be seen here are all H II regions . ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Specifying source region shapes . When radiusstyle =`contour', the task calculates the source region shape as an elliptical locus which approximates the contour of the PSF at a given flux value. ... Clearly, in order to calculate the shape of such a flux contour, it is necessary firstly to normalize the PSF to the source brightness and secondly to determine the flux level (in `brightness' units per pixel) at which to find the contour. ...
