Summary
| Description |
English: Living the High Life
This composite image of NGC 281 contains X-ray data from Chandra (purple) with infrared observations from Spitzer (red, green, blue). The high-mass stars in NGC 281 drive many aspects of their galactic environment through powerful winds flowing from their surfaces and intense radiation that heats surrounding gas, "boiling it away" into interstellar space. This process results in the formation of large columns of gas and dust, as seen on the left side of the image. These structures likely contain newly forming stars. The eventual deaths of massive stars as supernovas will also seed the galaxy with material and energy. 文言：高生活
NGC 281的合成圖像包含的X射線數據的錢德拉（紫色）與斯皮策（紅，綠，藍）的紅外觀測。煮沸通過強大的風從它們的表面和強烈的輻射加熱周圍的氣體流動，“大質量恆星在NGC 281的銀河系環境的的驅動許多方面的”進入星際空間。這個過程的結果在形成的氣體和灰塵，如左側的圖像上看到的大柱。這些結構可能包含新形成恆星。的最終死亡的大質量恆星的超新星的星系，物質和能量的種子。 Español: Living the High Life
Esta imagen compuesta de NGC 281 contiene datos de rayos X de Chandra (púrpura) con observaciones infrarrojas de Spitzer (rojo, verde, azul). Las estrellas de gran masa en aspectos NGC 281 unidades muchos de su entorno galáctico poderosos vientos que fluyen a través de su superficie y la radiación intensa que calienta el gas circundante ", que hierve lejos" en el espacio interestelar. Este proceso resulta en la formación de grandes columnas de gas y polvo, como se ve en el lado izquierdo de la imagen. Estas estructuras probablemente contienen estrellas de reciente formación. Las muertes eventuales de estrellas masivas como supernovas también la simiente de la galaxia con el material y la energía. |
