Andromeda Mosaic Plat Solve Stars 13

Star Center from Panel 13 of my 15 Panel Andromeda Mosaic. Data Acquired over the last three months from MaRIO (Marathon Astronomical Remote Imaging Observatory).

A labor of love and great effort. Such tremendous heavens require no less.

Research taken from various online sources and my #1 source for putting together mosaics- Sky Safari!

Nu Andromeda. The “Gateway to Andromeda”.

Roughly 680 light years from our Solar System. A 4.52 magnitude double star made up of a luminous class B5 dwarf and a much fainter star of class F8 that is not much different from our Sun. Spectroscopy reveals that the two stars orbit quickly taking merely 4.28 days to make a full orbit. The larger, brighter Class B star shines at an output of 1700 times that of our Sun.

The larger star rotates at 80 km/s while the smaller one roared at 11 km/s. These figures imply that the two are tidally synchronized with one star always pointing at the other other one.

At an age of 80 million years, the larger B5 star is just about to finish fusing it’s internal hydrogen and is preparing to become a red giant. As it grows it will encounter its smaller F8 companion and will transfer its mass to the larger B5 star, possibly absorbing the F8 star.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
