The Large Magellanic Cloud, with the location of NGC 2035 and NGC 2032 marked just left of centre. NGC 2035 (also known as ESO 56-EN161 and the Dragon's Head Nebula) is an emission nebula and a H II region in the Dorado constellation and part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. [2] It was discovered by James Dunlop on August 3, 1826. Its apparent ...
NGC 2032 (also known as ESO 56-EN160 and the Seagull Nebula) is an emission nebula in the Dorado constellation and near the supershell LMC-4 [2] and it consists of NGC 2029, NGC 2035 and NGC 2040. It was first discovered by James Dunlop on 27 September 1826, and John Herschel rerecorded it on 2 November 1834. [3]
New 5 in Sagittarius (thus mentioned on chart 22 of Wil Tirion's Sky-Atlas 2000.0, mentioned as ESO 285-G7 on charts 411 and 412 in Uranometria 2000.0 Volume 2, 1987 edition). New 6 in Indus (chart 23 in Tirion's Sky-Atlas 2000.0, chart 413 in the 1987 edition of Uranometria 2000.0, Volume 2) (as ESO 287-G13) NGC — New General Catalogue
NGC 2029 (also known as ESO 56-EN156 or the Dragon's Head Nebula [3]) is an emission nebula in the Dorado constellation and is part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is part of a complex of nebulae and stars, including NGC 2032, NGC 2035 and NGC 2040. [4] It was discovered by James Dunlop on the 27 September 1826. [5]
This is a list of NGC objects 2001–3000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.Other objects in the catalogue can be found in the other subpages of the list of NGC objects.
On March 25–26, 1999, The Wide Field Imager, a 67-million pixel digital camera at the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope at the La Silla Observatory took a picture of the nebula with a field of view of 31.49 x 30.64 arcminutes at a RA of 5 h 18 m 37.89 s and a declination of −69° 24′ 23.27″, and orientation of north being 1.9° right of vertical.
ESO image of Henize 70. A paper published in 1978 proposed that the formations of Henize 70 and other emission nebulae could be due to stellar winds. [22] Later in 1981, a scientific article mentioned a higher likeliness of a supernova explosion forming the nebula instead of stellar winds. [23]
Using the planetary nebula luminosity function method, an estimate of 10.89 +0.85 −1.24 million light years (or Mly; 3.34 +0.26 −0.38 Megaparsecs, or Mpc) was achieved in 2005. [2] The Sculptor Galaxy is close enough that the tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) method may also be used to estimate its distance.
