Explanation: Located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina, the young cluster and starforming region Westerlund 2 fills this cosmic scene . ... Strong winds and radiation from those massive young stars have sculpted and shaped the region's gas and dust, into starforming pillars that point back to the central cluster. ... About APOD | ...

There is often dust associated with ionized regions. Compact HII regions usually have associated dust from a molecular cloud in which the massive star is being "born". ... For such stars the dust is not produced by the star, and a variety of dust features are observed. The planetary nebulae also usually have associated dust from the previous stage of evolution where they were either carbon stars or M-type giants. ... The feature near 11.5 microns in the IC 418 spectrum may be due to SiC dust. ...

... 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. ...

... 1Haynes+ A catalogue at 5 GHz of 915 sources in the Galactic plane is presented. Sources with a peak beam brightness temperature of at least 0.2 K above the surrounding background are included, except in confused regions; a point source of 0.2 K corresconds to 0.26 Jy. ... It was assumed that Hydra A was a point source with a peak flux density of 13 Jy at 5 GHz; this is equivalent to a mean beam brightness temperature of 10.0 K for a beamwidth of 4.1x4.4'. ...

... Most stars form in clusters, so the simple picture of star formation needs to incorporate the impact that young stars have on their environments, and each other. One region we study is NGC 1333, shown to the left as seen by the Spitzer Space Telescope. This is a тАЬproto-typicalтАЭ star-forming region located тАЬonlyтАЭ 1000 light years away in the direction of the constellation Perseus. ... Copyright 2015 Adele Plunkett. ...

Background regions of this shape should be chosen when there is no extended emission in the FOV, because OA-concentric regions are in general larger than source-concentric ones (thus offer better statisitics), yet sample everywhere approximately the same background level, because the value of the vignetting function is approximately the same at a given radius from the OA. fovbkgannulus =`no...
