Two star forming regions in NGC6822, studied by Bianchi et al. 2001 (you may find the article from the link below). Pictures from the HST WFPC2 multiband imaging with color coding: red= Halpha, green= B, blue= UV. The HST photometry revealed young stellar populations and a large number of massive star candidates. Follow-up spectroscopy with HST STIS and with ESO VLT is under way. |
A portion of VLT spectrum (purple line) of one of the stars selected from Bianchi et al. 2001 HST photometry. The black dashed line is a synthetic model calculated to derive the stellar parameters. (work in progress) |
