Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: V1400 Centauri imaged by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) on 20 July 2017. This image was taken in Band 7, which covers a frequency range of 275-350 GHz or wavelength range of 0.8-1.1 mm. While V1400 Centauri itself was not detected by ALMA, there is a faint object close to the star's location. This faint object could either be a background galaxy or a young substellar object surrounded by a disk of warm dust, which makes it a very likely candidate for J1407b, the object that eclipsed V1400 Centauri in 2007.
The left vertical bar with the gradient shows the image's flux-to-brightness map. The cyan horizontal line on the bottom left corner is a scale bar for angular distance. The cyan ellipse on the right depicts the shape of the ALMA beam in this image. The image is oriented such that North is up and East is left, as shown by the compass on the bottom right. The raw image filename in the ALMA Science Archive is "member.uid___A001_X87c_X409._1SWASP_J140747.93-394542.6__sci.spw17_19_21_23.cont.I.pbcor.fits". |
