An X-ray emitting bubble in the Cep OB3 association

  • 1. Cambridge Univ. (UK). Inst. of Astronomy

Description

The discovery is reported of a region of extended X-ray emission in the young star association Cep OB3 and its H II region S155. The X-ray luminosity of 2 x 1032 erg s-1 is probably due to a bubble of hot gas formed by the winds of the early-type stars which were not individually detected. This is the first evidence for such a bubble at X-ray wavelengths. (author)
