IC 348 is a star-forming region in the constellation Perseus located about 1,000 light years from the Sun. It consists of nebulosity and an associated 2-million-year-old cluster of roughly 400 stars within an angular diameter of 20″.

IC 348 是一个位于 英仙座 的恒星形成区域，距离太阳约315秒差距。 IC 348包含弥散云气和一个角直径约20角秒，包含约400颗恒星的年龄约2百万年 疏散星团。 该天体中质量最大的恒星是一个联星系统 BD+31°643，由两颗光谱类型B5 的恒星组成。 基于 斯皮策空间望远镜 的红外线观测结果显示，星团中约半数恒星拥有星周盘，而其中又有60%的星周盘是厚的或早期的。 这个年轻星团内也发现了三颗低质量 褐矮星。 这些天体随着时间丧失热量，因此这样的天体在年轻时较容 …

2023年12月13日 · This image from the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows the central portion of the star cluster IC 348. Astronomers combed the cluster in search of tiny, free-floating brown dwarfs: objects too small to be stars but larger than most planets.

Immediately below it lies the intriguing young star cluster IC 348 recently explored at infrared wavelengths by the James Webb Space Telescope. In silhouette against the diffuse reddish glow of hydrogen gas, dark and obscuring interstellar dust cloud Barnard 3 is at upper right.

2024年8月6日 · IC 348 is a reflection nebula located about 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Perseus. IC 348 is often imaged alongside NGC1333 wide-field due to how close the two nebulae are. These are not particularly popular beginner astrophotography targets, but can be fun challenging objects to image with any telescope.

At upper left in the gorgeous skyscape is the intriguing young star cluster IC 348 and neighboring Flying Ghost Nebula. At right, another active star forming region NGC 1333 is connected by dark and dusty tendrils on the outskirts of the giant Perseus Molecular Cloud, about 850 …

IC 348 is a star-forming region in the constellation Perseus located about 315 parsecs from the Sun. It consists of nebulosity and an associated 2-million-year-old cluster of roughly 400 stars within an angular diameter of 20″. The most massive stars in the cluster are the binary star system BD+31°643, which has a combined spectral class of B5.
