Hertzsprung–Russell diagram - Star classification based on its brightness v/s temperature.

 Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is scatter plot based on Star's Luminosity(brightness) v/s Temperature.

1)Main Sequence Stars- They burn their hydrogen core and their position depends on their mass. See the diagonal distribution in the diagram.

2)Red & Orange Giants- They are expanding star. They are at the end or final stage of their lives.

3)Red Super Giants- Most massive star swells and becomes Super Giants as they get old.

4)White dwarfs-They are hot star with the faint core. For example when Sun like star will burn out , they would become White dwarf.


Below image show some popular Night Sky Star plotted in HR diagram.

Diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell - Classificação de estrelas com base em seu brilho v / s temperatura

O diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell é um gráfico de dispersão baseado na luminosidade (brilho) v / s temperatura da estrela.
1) Estrelas da sequência principal - queimam seu núcleo de hidrogênio e sua posição depende de sua massa.  Veja a distribuição diagonal no diagrama.

 2) Gigantes Vermelho & Laranja - São estrelas em expansão.  Eles estão no fim ou estágio final de suas vidas.

 3) Super Gigantes Vermelhos- A maioria das estrelas massivas incha e se torna Super Gigante à medida que  envelhecem.

 4) Anãs brancas - são estrelas quentes com o núcleo fraco.  Por exemplo, quando o Sol como uma estrela se extinguir, eles se tornará uma anã branca.

 A imagem abaixo mostra algumas estrelas populares do céu noturno plotadas no diagrama HR.

Astronomy Python - Crab Nebula - Combine RGB channel images into One Image

Image
 In Astronomy, Image taken by cameras would be based on specific filters(channels)-Red, Green, Blue. Below are the the images taken across 3 channels. Red(Left), Green(Centre), Blue(Right) Original image credit(single image which is not shown here)- Credits: NASA, ESA, J. Hester and A. Loll (Arizona State University) Below is result after combining above 3 channel images Below is the python code used. Original Carb Nebula image is spitted    into 3 channels(as shown 3 gray images above) *************************************************** from PIL import Image # Open the red, green, and blue channel images red_channel = Image.open('E:\\astronomy_related\\rbg_one\\red.png') green_channel=Image.open('E:\\astronomy_related\\rbg_one\\green.png') blue_channel =Image.open('E:\\astronomy_related\\rbg_one\\blue.png') # Create a new RGB image result = Image.merge("RGB", (red_channel, green_channel, blue_channel)) # Save the result image result.save('E:\\astr...

Python code to fetch Eta Carinae nebula FITS image and Display

Image
In Astronomy, there will be needs to extract Images from FITS format file for further analysis or research, Below is the Two steps code for "getting image link" and "fetching & displaying image from the link"  The code uses python libraries such as PYVO,  Astropy, Matplotlib STEP 1-excute below code to get url of the astronomical object import pyvo as vo from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord from astropy.units import Quantity pos = SkyCoord.from_name('Eta Carina') #Eta Carina Nebula size = Quantity(0.5, unit="deg") sia_service = vo.dal.SIAService("http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/hppunion/q/im/siap.xml") sia_results = sia_service.search(pos=pos, size=size) sia_results  -------------- its will list all FITS format image from online repository------------ <Table length=8> accref ... ...
