4 天之前 · Abstract. We present the JWST discovery of a highly-extincted (A V ∼ 52) candidate brown dwarf (∼0.018M ⊙) in the outskirts of the Trapezium Cluster that appears to be coincident with the end of a ∼1700 au long, remarkably uniformly wide, dark trail that broadens only slightly at the end opposite the point source.We examine whether a dusty trail associated with a highly …

1 天前 · M42’s Trapezium cluster, named for the trapezoidal arrangement of its central massive stars, is seen in this infrared Hubble image. This image shows some highlights from a spectacular new image of the Orion Nebula star-formation region from multiple exposures.

1 天前 · The Orion Nebula (M42) is one of the brightest and most studied star-forming regions in the night sky, located approximately 1,344 light-years away in the Orion constellation. This high-dynamic-range (HDR) image captures the nebula in unprecedented detail, balancing the luminous Trapezium Cluster at

2 天之前 · Trapezium Cluster: Found in the heart of the Orion Nebula, these young stars pierce through dense gas and dust, creating a stunning celestial display. Thanks For Reading!

2 天之前 · The western component of which Theta-One Orionis is the famous Trapezium. A 90mm telescope will show the four stars that make up the trapezium, but larger scopes reveal many more stars in the system. The Trapezium is just a small part of a larger open cluster.

3 天之前 · GRAVITY observations reveal that most massive stars in the Orion Trapezium cluster live in multiple systems.

3 天之前 · We then slewed to Jupiter, with 4 Galilean moons visible and the GRS. Next on to Mars, with some clear dark surface patches visible at 140x magnification. The session ended with a low magnification view of M42, the Orion Nebula, with the Trapezium Cluster clearly visible.

2 天之前 · In October 2023 an even larger group of 540 planetary-mass object candidates was discovered in the Trapezium Cluster and inner Orion Nebula with JWST. The objects have a mass between 13 and 0.6 M J .

17 小时之前 · The R136 cluster is an unusually dense collection of young, hot, blue stars. Rare ultramassive stars that exceed this limit – for example in the R136 star cluster – might be explained by the following proposal: Some of the pairs of massive stars in close orbit in young, unstable multiple-star systems must, on rare occasions, collide and ...

5 天之前 · We managed to spot three stars within the Trapezium Cluster near the center of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), but you'd need a pair with higher magnification if you want to see the fourth bright...
