Summary
| Description |
A composite utilizing both HST and CXO data to visualize x-ray emission from the galaxy's nucleus. Its bright central supermassive black hole is actively accreting matter and the surrounding disk is glowing hot with x-rays. Star formation encircling the nucleus also heats interstellar gas to create a diffuse, nebular glow further out from the nucleus. An article describing the observations used to create this image that serendipitously caught a blob of dust eclipsing the black hole is here: chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2007/ngc1365/ A Chandra-only image is here: [1] A wider, HST-only image is here: [2] This image was possible thanks to data from the following Chandra and HST proposals: Solving the Enigmas of the Nearby Seyfert/Starburst Galaxy NGC1365 with Chandra ACIS-S Active Galaxies and Quasars PHANGS-HST: Linking Stars and Gas throughout the Scales of Star Formation Chandra data: Violet / Magenta overlay: ACIS .30-7.00 keV Observation IDs: 3554, 6868-6873 HST data: Red: WFC3/UVIS F814W Green: WFC3/UVIS F555W Blue: WFC3/UVIS F438W/F336W/F275W North is 19° clockwise from up. |
