The new images released today by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have allowed to develop a new map ATLASGAL combining the data provided by APEX and Planck telescopes, he said the ESO said in a statement.
“ATLASGAL provides an exciting look at where the next generation of clusters and massive stars will form,” said the expert of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn (Germany) Timea Csengeri, charge to combine the information provided by the Planck and APEX.
the new space photography allows us to observe for the first time since the southern hemisphere at submillimeter wavelengths cold Universe, ie masses gas and dust “a few tens of degrees above absolute zero.”
Specifically, the map covers an area of sky located in a strip of 140 degrees long and 3 degrees wide, and improve the quality of previous images of some of these regions of the galaxy in which Earth resides.
“ATLASGAL has allowed us to have a new transformer look interstellar medium of our own galaxy “and” opens the possibility of delving into this wonderful set of data for new discoveries dense “summarized the European Southern Observatory scientist Leonardo Testi.
