Anyone interested in V1647 Ori = McNeil's Nebula?
There was quite a stir last January when Jay McNeil noticed a
new bit of nebulosity surrounding a new star in a star-forming region near M78. It turned out to be a young star which had gradually been brightening for several months. Many astronomers turned their optical, infrared, and X-ray telescopes towards the field during the spring of 2004. I've been trying to keep a rough log of the results at http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys440.../new_star.html Things slowed down when Orion passed behind the Sun in early May. However, the constellation ought to be coming up in the morning sky about now. I was wondering if anyone has managed to observe the field again, or has plans to do so soon. I'd be happy to discuss this at much greater length via E-mail with any interested parties. Michael Richmond |
