    Is the Southern Ring Nebula going to be a Type 1A Supernova in the course of time? White dwarf with a companion star, isn't that what leads to it?

  • @LaunchPadAstronomy

    @LaunchPadAstronomy

    Жыл бұрын

    It's quite possible. It usually requires a very close binary system where the companion dumps an overwhelming amount of matter onto the WD. Hardly an implausible scenario, however.

    Christian, thank you for this fantastic presentation of the early analysis of Webb's First Images - tremendously exciting! Special thanks for showing exactly where the Carina Cliffs image was taken in the sky. One question I have about the Southern Ring, which I think also applies to the northern ring (M57): What do these nebulas actually look like in space? Are they spherical? Why do they appear like "rings"? I've read that some astronomers believe that possibly they are toroidal. Thank you for any insights you can provide.

  • @LaunchPadAstronomy

    @LaunchPadAstronomy

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Dan, thanks for the kind words! Sorry it took me so long though, ugh! The rings are likely equatorial outflows, which on some level makes sense as the star is rotating. There may also be a circumstellar disk surrounding the star as well. Both would channel the thinner, faster outflow into an hourglass shape. In the case of both ring nebulae, we're looking down the top of the hourglass. We can verify this model by measuring the doppler shifts of the ring vs. the central gas. Granted, that's a bit simplified as there are so many other complex dynamics at work, especially in a binary system like the one we have here!

What parts of the image illustrate the affect of the giant stars interfering with the protostar growth? What parts of the image show the actual protostars? Are all points of light within the cloud protostars or are some of those light sources distant stars? The nebula is only 7600 light years away, so these protostars are built with pretty old matter. What percentage is hydrogen vs heavier elements? What's the heaviest element that we've observed contributing to star formation? What's the heaviest element theorized that could contribute to star formation? Man, thank you so much for starting this channel. You're an excellent resource.

    Hold on a second there. You say the infrared spectrum is mapped to colours in the visible spectrum. Question is, is their an attempt to project those images as they would be viewed if the wave lengths hadn't been stretched out by expanding space? Does the colour we view as orange, in infrared have slightly longer wave lengths in infrared than the colour we view as yellow. Would that orange be orange if we viewed that galaxy in relatively close proximity? Of course, when we view galaxies that are different distances from us, the same wavelengths in infrared would represent different wave lengths in visible light at the source. But, when we are viewing a discreet galaxy it would be nice to know we are viewing that Galaxy as it would have appeared to us a long time ago from relatively close by. Or are we just making pretty colours here to make these images nice to look at? Or are we colouring the image in a way that would help us to distinguish between wavelengths that that are of particular significance towards scientific investigation? And, do we colour the image differently each time it is rendered, or is the rendering process consistent?

    The telescope see's from the upper visible through into the IR, but it's a wide range. The instruments each do a different thing, among those things breaking the light up (spectrum) and analyzing it. Depending on the instruments different colors represent different things including elements etc. So not all the images are truly what we would see with the eye but are colored to they can see what the instrument detected.

    Love the channel. Thanks for the content. I have to admit, he said "We were finally able to witness the power of this fully operation space telescope...", my brain heard "witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station." Sorry for distracting the science with science-fantasy. Carry on.

    I'm waiting for JWST to find Planet 9 or Nemesis (a brown dwarf, I suspect). Nah, I'm just kidding.... kinda.... Glad you & yours, and your cats & your house, are all okay!

    Thanks Helen, appreciate it! As for P9, Webb is really unlikely to find it because its field of view is small. So unless it gets really lucky (and someone notices), P9 will probably be found in a wide-field survey like the Vera Rubin observatory. Fingers crossed!

    Where is all the gravitational Lensing? And wouldn’t a uniform omni directional shockwave produce a more uniform ignition of stars? Have you ever heard of Harooni‘s telescope and how it describes the microwave background radiation actually being radiated from our oceans and not deep space? very fascinating, and I don’t believe the microwave radiation has never been confirmed by any tech sitting at any of earths Lagrange points. It’s funny, the big plasma cloud that looks like a mountain range, reminds me of the oceans in space that Enki spoke of in the Enuma Elish.

    Webb will visit the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and go much, much deeper with an even longer exposure time. But already, the image of SMACS 0723 is deeper than HUDF in terms of the number of galaxies detected. It's already the deepest image ever taken and it's just getting started :)
