Nuestro estudio de esta región en 2015 la identificó como la región de formación estelar con metalicidad estelar más baja de la Vía Láctea.

Este precioso objeto se encuentra en la zona de formación estelar Sh2-284 (lo que significa que es el objeto 284 en el segundo catálogo de nebulosas que hizo Sharpless, en 1959).

Our work demonstrates that NGC 663 is one of the most massive young clusters in the Galaxy. Moreover, we show that the Be/X-ray binary RX J0146.9+6121 is associated to the cluster, providing - for the first time - strong constraints on the formation of such a system.

Svelati nuovi segreti del super ammasso stellare Westerlund 1, grazie al lavoro di analisi del progetto internazionale guidato da Mario Guarcello dell’Inaf di Palermo, Ewocs, e alle osservazioni del James Webb Space Telescope. I risultati saranno pubblicati su Astronomy & Astrophysics.

The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam captures a stunning view of Westerlund 1. Thousands of stars shine brightly, their light diffracted into colorful cross patterns due to the telescope's optics. Interstellar dust and gas glow in shades of red and orange, forming intricate nebulae.
Open star cluster Westerlund 1. A home to a variety of young, massive stars.
