Categoria di regioni H II

Sh2-161 è una nebulosa a emissione visibile nella costellazione di Cassiopea; si trova sul Braccio di Perseo ed è composta da due nebulose distinte: Sh2-161A, di cui si ignorano la gran parte dei parametri, e Sh2-161B, direttamente connessa con altre nebulose circostanti, come NGC 7538 e Sh2-159, situate nella stessa regione della grande associazione OB Cassiopeia OB2.

Osservazione

Mappa della regione di Cas OB2, con in evidenza Sh2-161.

Sh2-161 è visibile nella parte più occidentale della costellazione, sul confine con Cefeo, 0,5° a nordest della nebulosa NGC 7635 e circa 1° a ovest dell'ammasso aperto M52. Non è facilmente osservabile otticamente, pertanto né un binocolo né un telescopio amatoriale sono in grado di mostrarla; può essere ripresa nelle fotografie a lunga posa, in cui appare come una vasta e tenue nebulosità diffusa, con delle regioni più luminose al centro e un grande arco in direzione nord. Lo sfondo è ricchissimo di campi stellari, su cui spicca, in direzione sudovest, l'ammasso aperto NGC 7510, ben osservabile anche con un binocolo.

Cefeo e Cassiopea sono due costellazioni caratteristiche dei cieli autunnali boreali; la regione celeste in cui si trova il sistema nebuloso raggiunge la massima altezza sull'orizzonte nel cielo serale nei mesi compresi fra ottobre e dicembre. La declinazione fortemente settentrionale fa sì che sia facilmente osservabile solo dalle regioni dell'emisfero boreale, dove per altro si presenta circumpolare da gran parte delle sue latitudini; dall'emisfero australe la sua visibilità è limitata alle sole latitudini tropicali e subtropicali ed è visibile sempre piuttosto bassa sull'orizzonte nord.[2]

Caratteristiche

Si tratta di un complesso formato in realtà da due nebulose ben distinte, come si evince dalla misurazione della velocità radiale; Sh2-161A è la regione meno conosciuta, sebbene sia stata indicata alla stessa distanza delle nebulose circostanti, come Sh2-159 e NGC 7538, ossia a una distanza di circa 2800 parsec (circa 9100 anni luce).[3] Sh2-161B invece è la nube a cui sono associate fisicamente le due nebulose sopra citate,[4] ed è associata alla grande associazione OB Cas OB2, la più occidentale delle associazioni OB di Cassiopea, che conta cinque stelle massicce di classe O e alcune di classe B.[5]

  2. ^ Una declinazione di 62°N equivale ad una distanza angolare dal polo nord celeste di 28°; il che equivale a dire che a nord del 28°N l'oggetto si presenta circumpolare, mentre a sud del 28°S l'oggetto non sorge mai.
