Two stars with orbits that almost intersect create concentric rings of gas.
Anton is a serious and reliable source.Vanadium 50 said:Are you sure? This looks a lot like diffraction to me.
Sometimes a red dwarf is just a sausage.
The one from 2002? No because one did not have the equipment to take such images back then on WR140, but one understood its features. It is a well known phenomena, but rare (because WR stars are rare). When I took course "stellar physics" in 2007, the teacher had a seminar for grad students about WR stars which he invented us mere mortal undergrads to attend "just for fun". I think I was the only undergrad student who attendend.Vanadium 50 said:But that paper doesn't show the regulalrly spaced rings.
"Amazing Rings: Intersecting Stars Create Spectacular Gas Rings" is a phenomenon observed in outer space where intersecting stars create beautiful and intricate gas rings.
These rings are formed when two or more stars pass close to each other and their gravitational forces interact, causing the gas surrounding the stars to form intricate patterns and rings.
These rings can be found in outer space, specifically in areas where there are clusters of stars. They are often observed in galaxies and nebulae.
The intersecting stars and their gravitational forces create intricate patterns and shapes within the gas, making the rings visually stunning. The gas also emits colorful light, adding to their beauty.
Studying these rings can provide insight into the behavior and interactions of stars and the effects of gravity in outer space. It can also help us understand the formation and evolution of galaxies and nebulae.
