NGC 1624, also known as Sh2-212 [3] in the Sharpless catalog, is a very young open cluster in the constellation Perseus inside an emission nebula. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1790. [4] NGC 1624 is about 20,000 ly (6,000 pc) from Earth, and latest estimates give it an age of less than 4 million years. [2]

NGC 1624-2 is a massive O-type star located in the star cluster NGC 1624, in the constellation of Perseus, about 16,800 light years away. NGC 1624-2 is notable for being most strongly magnetised O-type star known, [6] with a magnetic field strength of 20 kG, or about 20,000 times the Sun's magnetic field strength. [5]

NGC 1624 is a Star Cluster + Nebula in the Perseus constellation. NGC 1624 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 11.8, NGC 1624 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 8 inches (200mm) or more.

2024年10月27日 · NGC 1624 is an open cluster embedded in the H-II nebula Sh2-212. Young at only 4 million years, it numbers many pre-main sequence stars as well as several very massive, energetic ones, the brightest of which is NGC 1624-2 at the cluster’s center.

This paper presents a first observational investigation of the faint Of?p star NGC 1624-2, yielding important new constraints on its spectral and physical characteristics, rotation, magnetic field strength, X-ray emission and magnetospheric properties.

NGC 1624 is an Open Star Cluster located in the constellation of Perseus in the northern hemisphere. NGC 1624 is called NGC 1624 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work.

Found in the constellation of Perseus, NGC 1624 is a faint H-II emission nebula that surrounds group of about a dozen stars. Visually observable in a 6-inch telescope, the nebula is nonetheless a difficult and faint object even in a 10-inch. Classification: Nebula and Open Star Cluster.

NGC 1624, also known as Sh2-212 in the Sharpless catalog, is a very young open cluster in the constellation Perseus inside an emission nebula. The cluster consists of several massive main sequence stars and a large number of pre-main sequence stars.
