One of these has an overlay of detailed information on ionising stars.

Not exact matches

During their lives, massive stars produce copious amounts of ionising radiation and kinetic energy through strong stellar winds.

The idea that massive stars will have a considerable effect on their surroundings is not new: such stars are known to blast out vast quantities of powerful, ionising radiation — emission with enough energy to strip atoms of their orbiting electrons.

H II regions like RCW 106 are clouds of hydrogen gas that are being ionised by the intense starlight of scorching - hot, young stars, causing them to glow and display weird and wonderful shapes.

They picked up the gas by its microwave emissions — suspecting that radiation from massive stars nearby had ionised the gas.

When this light encounters hydrogen atoms still lingering in the stellar nursery that produced the stars, the atoms become ionised.

This only ended when ultraviolet light from the first stars and giant black holes had once again ionised the fog of neutral atoms filling the universe.

The surrounding cloud of ionised gas is producing more microwaves than clouds around other star clusters in our galaxy.

The region of sky pictured is listed in the Sharpless catalogue of H II regions: interstellar clouds of ionised gas, rife with star formation.

Observations released in 2003 from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) suggested that the first stars started ionising gas after only 200 million years.

Astronomers thought that ionised gas created by the first generation of stars might be mimicking the imprint of inflation by scattering the microwaves on their way to us from distant parts of the universe.

The contrasting faint reddish clouds that seem to weave between the stars are composed of ionised hydrogen gas.

The energetic radiation from these new stars strips electrons from the atoms within the surrounding hydrogen gas, ionising it and producing a characteristic red glow.

The distinctive blueish colour of this rather mysterious object is again created by radiation from the hot star — this time by ionising oxygen instead of hydrogen.

Radiation from hot young stars could account for ionised oxygen in the cloud, but not the ionised neon: neon doesn't shine in the ultraviolet, as seen in the cloud, without lots of X-rays hitting it.

We know the stars ought to be there, because these emissions come from hydrogen ionised by stars.

It produced the black holes we observe, as well as the ionised gas around them and the star formation rate in their host galaxies.

These are the glowing remains of the stellar envelope of gas ejected during the AGB phase, which is ionised by ultraviolet radiation emitted by the central star.

This star - forming region of ionised hydrogen gas is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy which neighbours the Milky Way.

The energy released now heats the gas till it becomes an ionised plasma due to the high Temperature, the escape of this centraally generated energy to the suface of the «cloud», now a proto star will eventually stop the collapse as the outer layers also heat, and the outer plasma will become opaque to the EM radiation generted at the million degree buring interface.
