Summary
[edit]DescriptionSPHERE image of the disc around AB Aurigae - Eso2008a.tif |
English: This image shows the disc around the young AB Aurigae star, where ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has spotted signs of planet birth. Close to the centre of the image, in the inner region of the disc, we see the ‘twist’ (in very bright yellow) that scientists believe marks the spot where a planet is forming. This twist lies at about the same distance from the AB Aurigae star as Neptune from the Sun.
The image was obtained with the VLT’s SPHERE instrument in polarised light. Coordinates Position (RA): 4 55 45.87 Position (Dec): 30° 33' 3.89" Field of view: 0.13 x 0.13 arcminutes Orientation: North is -0.0° left of vertical Colours & filters Band Wavelength Telescope Infrared H 1.625 μm Very Large Telescope SPHERE. |
