Tag: SOFIA

Left: RGB image of 30 Dor for [C ii] with blue, 235–245 km s−1; green, 245–255 km s−1; and red, 255–270 km s−1. The contours indicate the HAWC+ 214 μm dust continuum emission starting at 0.1 Jy pixel−1 with increments of 0.1 Jy pixel−1. The yellow cross is added to guide the eye at the axes of what appears to be dominantly blueshifted and redshifted gas. The white segments indicate the magnetic field morphology on the RGB image. Right: the same for 12CO(2-1). -- USRA/Astrophysical Journal

Despite Magnetic Fields’ Best Efforts, Star Formation Continues in 30 Doradus

by SpaceRef EditorJune 9, 2023July 15, 2024

New research from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), whose science mission operations were managed by Universities Space Research Association, has shown that the magnetic fields in 30 Doradus […]

Imaging observations centered on WD 2226-210. Left: the Helix Nebula observed at 70 μm by Herschel/Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS; Van de Steene et al. 2015). The image has been smoothed with a Gaussian kernel with FWHM 5farcs4 to enhance its appearance. The region centered on WD 2226-210 and covered by the four cutaway panels to the right is denoted by the white boxes. Right: the top row is Spitzer/MIPS 24 μm (Su et al. 2007; left) and SOFIA/HAWC+ 54 μm (right), and the bottom row is Herschel/PACS 70 μm (left) and ALMA Band 6 (right). Only the Spitzer and Herschel observations detect the excess emission associated with the white dwarf. The orientation of all images is north up, east left. The instrument beam for each observation is denoted by the white shaded ellipse in the bottom-left corner of the panel.
