Topic: NGC 604


  
  Firestorm Of Star Birth Seen In A Local Galaxy
This festively colorful nebula, called NGC 604, is one of the largest known seething cauldrons of star birth in a nearby galaxy.
NGC 604 lies in a spiral arm of the nearby galaxy M33, located about 2.7 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Triangulum.
NGC 604 itself can be seen in a small telescope, and was first noted by the English astronomer William Herschel in 1784.

Close examination of the inner structure of NGC 604 reveals a large number of shells, filaments, and arches formed by the stellar winds of 200 O type giants plus several Wolf-Rayet stars.
NGC 604 is powered by an extended OB association lacking a central concentrated core like R136 in 30 Doradus.
The massive stars of NGC 604 are scattered over a large area spanning the entire nebula and are 100 times less concentrated than R136.

NGC 6369, Little Ghost Nebula: This object is known to amateur astronomers as the "Little Ghost Nebula," because it appears as a small, ghostly cloud surrounding the faint, dying central star.
NGC 6369 lies in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus, at a distance estimated to be between about 2,000 and 5,000 light-years from Earth.

This festively colorful nebula, called NGC 604, is one of the largest known seething cauldrons of star birth in a nearby galaxy.
Color filters were used to isolate light emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms in the nebula and ultraviolet, visible and infrared light from the stars within NGC 604 and the nearby spiral arms of M33.

This is a Hubble Space Telescope image (right) of a vast nebula NGC 604 in the Triangulum galaxy M33.
At the heart of NGC 604 are over 200 hot stars, much more massive than our Sun (15 to 60 solar masses).
NGC 604 was first cataloged by William Herschel on September 11, 1784, who assigned it the number H III.150.

The big difference between the Gum and NGC 604 nebulae is that the Gum is probably a very old supernova remnant (expanding), while NGC 604 is a stellar nursery in a contracting gas cloud, the same as M 42 or M 8.
Hundreds of young bright stars in NGC 604 illuminate the cloud to a much higher surface brightness than the Gum.
If NGC 604 were to be moved to our neighborhood in our galaxy it would be quite spectacular.

As estrelas brilhantes na NGC 604 são extremamente jovens pelos padrões astronômicos, tendo sido formadas há apenas 3 milhões de anos.

This image of NGC 604 was taken in several different wide-band (W) and narrow-band (N) filters with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 onboard Hubble.
NGC 604 contains more than 200 hot, bright stars within a cloud that is nearly 1,300 light-years across.
A press release image of NGC 604 was released in 1996 (STScI PRC96-27) which included only a few of the narrow-band filters.

This image of the nearby spiral galaxy M33 (NGC 598) in Triangulum is from a 30-minute V-band exposure obtained with the UA 0.4m telescope, spanning a region almost 0.3 by 0.5 degree.
NGC 604 is among the brightest such regions in the entire Local Group, comparable in output to the Tarantula Nebula and perhaps our own NGC 3603.
For historical continuity, here is teh first image posted here some years ago: The nuclear region of the nearby spiral M33 (NGC 598), imaged in the V band using the Lowell Observatory 1.1-meter telescope.

 2MASS Atlas Image Gallery
NGC 205 is peculiar in that evidence exists for recent star formation in what nominally should be a galaxy composed of old stars.
The recessional velocity of NGC 7331 is only 816 km/sec, while the velocities for the other galaxies in the 2MASS mosaic range from 6315 to 8800 km/sec for NGC 7335, 7336, 7337, and 7340 (in increasing eastward distance from NGC 7331).
Imaging NGC 7814 in the near-IR with 2MASS allows a satisfactory decomposition of the bulge and disk in the galaxy and the determination of the fundamental characteristics of both components (Peletier & Knapen 1992, Messenger, 70, 57).

Also because of the cataloging of Herschel, the brightest and largest HII region (diffuse emission nebula containing ionized hydrogen) has obtained a NGC number of its own: NGC 604 (William Herschel's H III.150); it is situated in the northeastern part of the galaxy.
This is one of the largest H II regions known at all: it has a diameter of nearly 1500 light years, and a spectrum similar to the Orion nebula M42.

Spiral galaxy Ngc 6118 in an Eso release is larger when dim media contents in the photo are enhanced, the growth in supersize seen at either end where diffuse matter and loosely bonded arms materials are seen extending the galaxy's overall cross section diameter.
The boil off the core end of Ngc 7424 may help explain a vaguely seen circular in a highly enhanced image by Hubble of Ngc 1808, by professional astronomer James Flood whose interest was in certain spectrum frequencies and wavelengths the galaxy.
As shown in the next 3d stereo pair, there is a formation which has a circular edge, long steady view in 3d suggests at least one of the boils (the lower of the two) is fractal with six sided geometry edges and for this reason the image is featured in the tympani resonator page.

NGC 2403 is a luminous member of the M81 group of galaxies.
Similar in morphology to M33, NGC 2403 is noted for its exceptionally bright HII regions and high rate of star formation.
In a recent survey NGC 2403 was found to possess at least six of these monster clouds, an unusually high number for a galaxy.

 Nebula NGC 604
Nebula NGC 604 is an enormous cloud of stars, gas, and dust some three million light years away in the nearby spiral galaxy M33 toward the constellation Triangulum.
The green glow of the nebula is produced by Oxygen ions powered by ultraviolet light from more than 200 bright, hot stars, which are visible as the pink objects concentrated toward the center of the image.
Gaseous nebulae like NGC 604 are usually found in the arms of spiral galaxies, where they provide the raw material from which new stars are formed.
