Description:
|
|
The Chandra data is overlaid with contours from a short-exposure (10 sec) image of the nebula obtained with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT). The VLT and Chandra images were obtained on February 18 and March 7, 2004, respectively. The Chandra image is color-coded for energy (red = 0.5-1.5 keV; green = 1.5-2.4 keV; blue = 2.4-8.0 keV). Note the predominance of high-energy X-rays (blue) from source 3 (named CXO J054613.1-000604), which lies at the apex of McNeil's Nebula. Names for the other sources in the field are as follows:
source 1 = CXO J054619.4-000519;
source 2 = CXO J054618.8-000537;
and source 4 = CXO J054611.6-000627.
