#IRAS 16562–3959

[netmassimo]

An image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a part of the star-forming area cataloged as IRAS 16562–3959. The Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument offers many details of that area at infrareds, in particular of the emissions coming from a massive star still in its formation phase whose consequences are visible in the part of the image that goes from the center towards the upper left and lower right. These and many other details can help reconstruct star formation processes.

2 min read Hubble Views a Massive Star Forming This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is a relatively close star-forming region known as IRAS 16562-3959. ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. Fedriani, J. Tan This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is teeming with color and activity. It features a relatively close star-forming region known as IRAS 16562-3959, which lies within the Milky Way about 5,900 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. Observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 make up this image. Its detailed nuance of color is the result of four separate filters. These thin slivers of highly specialized material can slide in front of the instrument’s light sensors, allowing very specific wavelengths of light to pass through with each observation. This is useful because certain wavelengths of light can tell us about the region’s composition, temperature, and density. At the center of the image, IRAS 16562-3959 likely hosts a massive star – about 30 times the mass of our Sun – that is still in the process of forming. The shadowy clouds appear dark because there is so much light-obscuring dust blocking the near-infrared wavelengths of light Hubble observed. However, near-infrared light does leak out mainly on two sides – upper left and lower right – where a powerful jet from the massive protostar cleared away the dust. Multi-wavelength images like this incredible Hubble scene help us gain a better understanding of how the most massive, brightest stars in our galaxy form.

Colorare ciò che gli occhi umani non possono vedere

Se l’ultima immagine di Hubble era un po’ fioca e sottile, quella di oggi è un vero e proprio tripudio di colori e attività! Si tratta di una regione di formazione stellare relativamente vicina, nota come IRAS 16562-3959, che si trova all’interno della Via Lattea nella costellazione dello Scorpione, a circa 5900 anni luce dalla Terra. Questa immagine è stata realizzata utilizzando le…

Un'immagine catturata dal telescopio spaziale Hubble mostra una parte dell'area di formazione stellare catalogata come IRAS 16562–3959. Lo strumento Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) offre molti dettagli di quell'area agli infrarossi, in particolare delle emissioni provenienti da una stella massiccia ancora in fase di formazione le cui conseguenze sono visibili nella parte dell'immagine che dal centro va verso l'alto a sinistra e verso il basso a destra. Questi e molti altri dettagli possono aiutare a ricostruire i processi di formazione delle stelle.
