NGC 6751, also known as the Glowing Eye Nebula[2] or the Dandelion Puffball Nebula,[citation needed] is a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. It is estimated to be about 6,500 light-years (2.0 kiloparsecs) away.[2]

NGC 6751 was discovered by the astronomer Albert Marth on 20 July 1863.[4] John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue, described the object as "pretty bright, small".[4] The object was assigned a duplicate designation, NGC 6748.[4][5]

The nebula was the subject of the winning picture in the 2009 Gemini School Astronomy Contest, in which Australian high school students competed to select an astronomical target to be imaged by Gemini.[6]

NGC 6751 is an easy telescopic target for deep-sky observers because its location is immediately southeast of the extremely red-colored cool carbon star V Aquilae.


Properties


NGC 6751, like all planetary nebulae was formed when a dying star threw off its outer layers of gas several thousand years ago. It is estimated to be around 0.8 light-years in diameter.[7]

NGC 6751 has a complex bipolar structure. There is a bright, inner bubble (shown in the photo), as well as two fainter halos. (The outer halo, with a radius of 50 is extremely faint and is broken, while the inner halo with a radius of 27 is roughly spherical).[2] On both the west and east sides of the inner shell, knots can be seen that are surrounded by faint “lobes”.[2] These lobes are actually a ring, and the eastern side is nearer than the western side.[2] As a whole, the system is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of 31.7 km/s.[2]

The central star of the nebula has a similar spectrum to a Wolf–Rayet star (spectral type [WC4]),[1] and has an effective temperature of about 140,000 K and a radius of about 0.13 R. It is losing mass at a rate of 1×10−6 M per year, and its surface composition is mostly helium and carbon.[2]

NGC 6751 = 6748 ist ein planetarischer Nebel in der Nähe von Lambda Aquilae. NGC 6751 hat eine scheinbare Helligkeit von 11,9 mag. Der Nebel stammt von der abgestoßenen Hülle eines Sterns am Ende seines Lebens. Die Ausdehnungsgeschwindigkeit beträgt um die 400 km/s. NGC 6751 wurde am 20. Juli 1863 von dem deutschen Astronomen Albert Marth entdeckt. Aufgrund falsch aufgezeichneter Daten wurde die Beobachtung von Edouard Stephan am 17. Juli 1871 als neues Objekt im NGC-Katalog mit der Bezeichnung NGC 6748 aufgenommen. Neueste Erkenntnisse belegen jedoch, dass das Objekt mit dem NGC-Objekt 6751 identisch ist.[4]
