Image -- Jim Flood, Max Mutchler (Space Telescope Science Institute), and NASA. The Hubble image shows clusters of hot, young, blue stars in a 3,000 light-year segment of NGC 1808's starburst region. The ground-based image shows a faint halo surrounding the galaxy's disk - the aftereffect of dust filaments being ejected from the core by massive stars that exploded as supernovae in the starburst region. ... 1 April 1998 . for the July 1998 edition of Astronomy magazine) ...

... 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. ...

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 . ...
