Photon Scattering: Basic Principle of Photon Scattering . Audio Narration is available . No Scattering: Photon Source and Detector . ... For optical photons, scattering goes as wavelength to the -4 power. In the case of blue photons compared to red photons, this means that blue photons are about 10 times more likely to get scattered than red photons. ... Watch the blue photons scatter away from the detector . ... Interstellar dust make stars appear redder than they really are . ...

... 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. ...

Our team has obtained HST WFPC2 images of this prototypical example of a planetary nebula in a globular cluster. K 648 was cataloged as a star by Kustner, but identified spectroscopically as a planetary nebula by Pease, both in the 1920's. General WFPC2 view of M15 and K 648 (located near top left edge) . ... The nucleus is shown to have an unusually high mass of 0.60 Msun, and we argue that it must have undergone mass augmentation in a binary that has undergone mass transfer or a merger. ...
