Exploring Imaging and Polarimetry of the Galactic Centre and NGC 6572 Nebula

This research delves into imaging and polarimetry of celestial phenomena, focusing on the Galactic Centre at 12.5 mm and the Ney-Allen nebula at 11.6 mm. Through the dissection of the planetary nebula NGC 6572, we analyze the dynamics of bipolar jets, with the northern jet oriented towards Earth. Observations highlight how a fast stellar wind, measured at 2000 km/s, interacts with the nebula's equatorial belt. This study incorporates data from Hora et al. (IRTF 1988) and Michelle on UKIRT (2001), contributing significant insights into stellar processes.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Imaging Polarimetry - The Galactic Centre at 12.5mm. 10%

  2. N E Declination Offset [arcsec] Right Ascension Offset [arcsec] Imaging - The Ney-Allen nebula at 11.6mm.

  3. Dissecting the planetary nebula NGC 6572 - Imaging Hora et al., (IRTF 1988). Michelle on UKIRT, 2001.

  4. Bipolar Jets from NGC6572 The northern jet is directed towards us - the two knots show where a fast (2000km/sec) stellar wind is heating the near and far sides of N6572’s equatorial belt. (SIV line at 10.5mm)
