Gives me hope I may find myself a FUor before this year is out :-) <br /><br />Exciting stuff, I can't wait for some new data to be published so I can do some more searching!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028287563520537999.post-4859157398558377632010-11-30T15:05:52.488-05:002010-11-30T15:05:52.488-05:00The surprise comes from how soon this discovery wa...The surprise comes from how soon this discovery was posted! There is now a reflection nebula around HBC 722 and there is a great image by Joseph Brimacombe: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43846774@N02/4968162388/<br /><br />Also both of the nebulae associated with the two possible FUors in Monoceros can be seen in the top right corner of this image by Russell Croman from 2007: http://www.rc-astro.com/photo/id1178_big.html<br /><br />However the nebula associated with IRAS 06068-643 isn't visible in this image by Rob Gendler from the beginning of this year: http://www.robgendlerastropics.com/NGC2170AUM.html<br /><br />I presume the star has got fainter since 2007 and doesn't illuminate the dust around it. I wonder if it would be visible in an image taken at the beginning of next year.Sakibhttp://www.starsurfin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028287563520537999.post-89845749293790599012010-11-28T11:45:30.877-05:002010-11-28T11:45:30.877-05:00Thanks, Sakib.

Simostronomy is all about variable stars and stellar evolution. <br />MikeBig Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315391586724045202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028287563520537999.post-52292874073952690432010-11-26T17:16:55.468-05:002010-11-26T17:16:55.468-05:00I just found out about HBC 722 and the other outbu...I just found out about HBC 722 and the other outbursting protostar a couple of days ago and I was shocked to see the discovery mentioned on this blog! I absolutely love FUors, this might be my favourite post so far! V1515 Cygni is possibly my favourite FUor, it can be seen in this image: http://www.capella-observatory.com/ImageHTMLs/DiffuseNebula/NGC6914.htm<br /><br />Its interesting that there are half a dozen FUors in Cygnus, many of them might be localised to one or two spiral arms.<br /><br />There is another possible FUor in Monoceros near the obscure nebula LBN 1022. Last year, an amateur called Jim Thommes photographed this region and his image showed a new nebula that is nearly invisible on the DSS image. His image is here: http://jthommes.com/Astro/LBN1022.htm<br /><br />I can't wait to find out more about the new Cygnus discoveries next year!Sakibhttp://www.starsurfin.comnoreply@blogger.com
