NASA unveils 9 stunning snapshots of the cosmos in X-ray vision: Space photo of the week

NASA, 미항공우주국이 X선 영상으로 포착한 우주 사진 9장을 2일(한국시간) 공개했으니 

NASA 찬드라 X선 관측선Chandra X-ray Observatory에서 촬영한 것들이라 한다.

허블 우주 망원경Hubble space telescope과 제임스 웹 우주 망원경James Webb space telescope의 데이터를 결합해 이전에는 볼 수 없던 블랙홀, 성단, 그리고 멀리 떨어진 은하 모습을 드러냈다고.

 
명패를 떼어내면 다음과 같다. 
 

 
하나하나 자세히 들여다 봤음 하지만 그건 아래로 안내한다.

Chandra :: Photo Album :: Chandra Captures Razzle-Dazzle Across Space in New Images :: More Images

 
그 구체하는 설명은 다음과 같다. 
 
Top row:

Composite image of N79 : N79 is a giant region of star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite neighbor galaxy to the Milky Way. Chandra sees the hot gas created by young stars, which helps astronomers better understand how stars like our Sun formed billions of years ago.

[X-rays from Chandra (purple) and infrared data from Webb (blue, grey and gold)]

Composite image of NGC 2146 : NGC 2146 is a spiral galaxy with one of its dusty arms blocking the view of the galaxy’s center from Earth’s perspective. X-rays from Chandra show double star systems and hot gas that is being driven away from the galaxy by supernova explosions and winds from giant stars. 

[X-rays from Chandra (pink and purple), optical data from Hubble and the Las Cumbres Observatory in Chile and infrared data from NSF’s Kitt Peak (red, green and blue)] 

Composite image of IC 348 : IC 348 is a star-forming region in our Milky Way galaxy. The wispy structures that dominate the image are interstellar material that reflect the light from the cluster’s stars. The point-like sources in Chandra’s X-ray data are young stars in the cluster developing there. 

[X-rays from Chandra (red, green and blue) and Webb infrared data (pink, orange and purple)]

Middle row:

Composite image of M83 : M83, a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, is turned face-on toward Earth. This provides an unfettered view of the entire galaxy that is often impossible with different orientations. Chandra has detected the explosions of stars, or supernovas, and their aftermath across M83. 

[X-rays from Chandra (red, green and blue) with ground-based optical data (pink, gold and gray)]

Composite image of M82 : M82 is a so-called starburst galaxy where stars are forming at rates tens to hundreds of times higher than normal galaxies. Chandra sees supernovas that produce expanding bubbles of multimillion-degree gas that extend for millions of light-years away from the galaxy's disk. 

[X-rays from Chandra (purple) with Hubble optical data (red, green, and blue)] 

Composite image of NGC 1068 : NGC 1068 is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy containing a black hole at its center that is twice as massive as the Milky Way’s. Chandra shows a million-mile-per-hour wind is being driven from NGC 1068’s black hole and lighting up the center of the galaxy in X-rays. 

[X-rays from Chandra (blue), radio data from NSF’s VLA radio data (pink), and optical data from Hubble and Webb (yellow, grey and gold)] 

Bottom row:

Composite image of NGC 346 : NGC 346 is a young cluster home to thousands of newborn stars. The cluster’s most massive stars send powerful winds and produce intense radiation. X-rays from Chandra reveal output from massive stars in the cluster and diffuse emission from a supernova remnant, the glowing debris of an exploded star. 

[X-rays from Chandra (purple) with optical and ultraviolet from Hubble (blue, brown and gold)]

Composite image of IC 1623 : IC 1623 is a system where two galaxies are in the process of merging. As the galaxies collide, they trigger new bursts of star formation that glow dramatically in certain kinds of light. The merging galaxies may also be in the process of forming a supermassive black hole.

[X-rays from Chandra (magenta) with Webb infrared data (red, gold and gray)]

Composite image of Westerlund 1 : Westerlund 1 is the biggest and closest “super” star cluster to Earth. Data from Chandra and other telescopes is helping astronomers delve deeper into this galactic factory where stars are vigorously being produced. Observations from Chandra have uncovered thousands of individual stars pumping out X-ray emission into the cluster.
