Summary
[edit]DescriptionVLT SPHERE image of L2 Puppis.jpg |
English: Some of the sharpest images ever made with ESO’s Very Large Telescope have for the first time revealed what appears to be an ageing star in the early stages of forming a butterfly-like planetary nebula. These observations of the red giant star L2 Puppis from the ZIMPOL mode of the newly installed SPHERE instrument also reveal a close companion. The dying stages of the lives of stars continue to pose many riddles for astronomers. Русский: На Очень Большом Телескопе ESO (VLT) с разрешением, рекордным для этого инструмента, получены изображения, на которых впервые можно видеть, как заканчивающая свой жизненный путь звезда порождает планетарную туманность, напоминающую очертаниями бабочку. При наблюдениях красного гиганта L2 Puppis, выполненных с недавно установленным на телескопе инструментом SPHERE в ZIMPOL-режиме, также выявлена звезда-компаньон, образующая с красным гигантом тесную пару. Финальные стадии жизни звезд продолжают оставаться во многом загадочными для астрономов. |
