Red supergiants develop deep convection zones reaching from the surface over halfway to the core and these cause strong enrichment of nitrogen at the surface, with some enrichment of heavier elements. [26] Some red supergiants undergo blue loops where they temporarily increase in temperature before returning to the red supergiant state. This ...
Supergiant is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña , Supergiant first appeared in Infinity #1 (October 2013). The character has made several appearances in other media such as animated television and video games.
The 16 detected red supergiant cluster members with masses of about 12–15 M ☉ are type II supernova progenitors. The cluster is heavily obscured and has not been detected in the visible light. It lies close to other groupings of red supergiants known as RSGC1, Stephenson 2, Alicante 7, Alicante 8, and Alicante 10. The total mass of RSGC3 is ...
V762 Cassiopeiae is a red supergiant and a variable star located about 2,500 light-years away in the Cassiopeia constellation. Its apparent magnitude vary between 5.82 and 5.95, which makes it faintly visible to the naked eye under dark skies. It is a relatively cool star with an average surface temperature of 3,869 K.
RSGC1 (Red Supergiant Cluster 1) is a young massive open cluster in the Milky Way galaxy. It was discovered in 2006 in the data generated by several infrared surveys, named for the unprecedented number of red supergiant members. [3] The cluster is located in the constellation Scutum at the distance of about 6.6 kpc from the Sun.
Stephenson 2, also known as RSGC2 (Red Supergiant Cluster 2), is a young massive open cluster belonging to the Milky Way galaxy. It was discovered in 1990 as a cluster of red supergiants in a photographic, deep infrared survey by the astronomer Charles Bruce Stephenson, after whom the cluster is named.
VY Canis Majoris is a candidate for a star in a second red supergiant phase, but this is mostly speculative and unconfirmed. [66] From this star CO emission is coincident with the bright KI shell in its asymmetric nebula. The star will produce either: a moderately luminous and long-lasting type IIn supernova (SN IIn) a hypernova; or a
