Description
English: Atlas Image mosaic of NGC 2626, which, at a distance of about 1 kpc (3300 light years), is primarily reflecting the light from the bright blue (B1-type) 10th-magnitude star, CD -40°4432, which is embedded in it. (The star is seen toward the center of, and appears to be blended with another star in, the 2MASS image.) The infrared-bright jet-like nebula seen north of the blue star is the Herbig-Haro object HH 132, emanating from the bright infrared source IRAS 08337-4028. The bright star east and a bit north of CD -40°4432 is the pulsating variable star EM Velorum, a possible intermediate-mass Herbig Ae star. (The bright star at the top of the 2MASS image is IRAS 08338-4022.) Mueller & Graham (2000, PASP, 112, 1426), based on optical narrow-line imaging, have identified a number of H-bright sources in the field, which they associate with lower-mass, young K-type dwarfs, some of which may be T Tauri stars. IRAS 08337-4028 is most likely an embedded forming star, but the 2MASS image reveals a number of other young stellar objects as well, embedded in the dark cloud immediately north of NGC 2626 and elsewhere in the reflection nebula.
