The Condor image also exposed faint functions that were not picked up by the previous images.A view created by Condor and computer innovations of exceptionally faint shells of ionized gas surrounding the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis. It is 50 times larger than formerly understood nova shells and is the product of numerous nova shells crashing into each other over 10s of thousands of years.References:”Introducing the Condor variety telescope II– deep imaging observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 5907 and the NGC 5866 Group: yet another view of the renowned outstanding stream” by Kenneth M Lanzetta, Stefan Gromoll, Michael M Shara, Stephen Berg, James Garland, Evan Mancini, David Valls-Gabaud, Frederick M Walter and John K Webb, 04 March 2024, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.DOI: 10.1093/ mnras/stad3806″Introducing the Condor Array Telescope– III.
Credit: Condor TeamThe Condor Array Telescopes recent accomplishments consist of clarifying the nature of excellent streams around NGC 5907 and discovering brand-new gas shells around the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis, underscoring its capability to capture faint astronomical features.A new telescope called the “Condor Array Telescope” may open up a brand-new world of the very-low-brightness Universe for astrophysicists. The Condor image also exposed faint functions that were not picked up by the previous images.A view developed by Condor and computer system innovations of extremely faint shells of ionized gas surrounding the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis. By comparing the positions of the shell in the earlier and later on images, they determined the expansion rate of the shell, finding a rate that is indeed consistent with an explosion more than 2000 years ago.But to their awe, the team found that the new Condor image exposed the complete shell of gas surrounding Z Cam, rather than the partial shell revealed by the 4-meter telescope. It is 50 times bigger than previously known nova shells and is the product of several nova shells crashing into each other over 10s of thousands of years.References:”Introducing the Condor selection telescope II– deep imaging observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 5907 and the NGC 5866 Group: yet another view of the iconic stellar stream” by Kenneth M Lanzetta, Stefan Gromoll, Michael M Shara, Stephen Berg, James Garland, Evan Mancini, David Valls-Gabaud, Frederick M Walter and John K Webb, 04 March 2024, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.DOI: 10.1093/ mnras/stad3806″Introducing the Condor Array Telescope– III.
