Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: ULX (Ultraluminous X-ray source) found in the elliptical galaxy NGC 1399 (in the Fornax cluster). X-rays from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Magellan telescopes are shown in blue and are overlaid on an optical image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The picture shows that a star was torn apart by an intermediate-mass black hole in a globular cluster - that is what NASA-scientists think about this photo.
Deutsch: ULX (Ultrahelle Röntgen-Quelle), gefunden in der Spiralgalaxie NGC 1399 (im Sternbild Fornax). Röntgenstrahlen, die vom Weltraumteleskop Chandra und den Magellan-Teleskopen (in Chile) aufgenommen wurden, werden blau angezeigt. Sie wurden überlagert von einem optischen Bild des Hubble-Weltraumteleskops. Das Bild zeigt, dass ein Stern von einem mittel-massiven schwarzen Loch zu einem Kugelsternhaufen auseinandergerissen wurde. Das ist jedenfalls die Interpretation von NASA-Wissenschaftlern zu diesem Foto. |
