NGC 6781 is a planetary nebula located in the equatorial constellation of Aquila, about 2.5° east-northeast of the 5th magnitude star 19 Aquilae.[3] It was discovered July 30, 1788 by the Anglo-German astronomer William Herschel.[5] The nebula lies at a distance of 1,500 ly from the Sun.[2] It has a visual magnitude of 11.4 and spans an angular size of 1.9 × 1.8 arcminutes.[3]

The bipolar dust shell of this nebula is believed to be barrel-shaped and is being viewed from nearly pole-on.[6] It has an outer angular radius of 61″; equivalent to a physical radius of 0.44 ly (0.135 pc). The total mass of gas ejected as the central star passed through its last asymptotic giant branch (AGB) thermal pulse event is 0.41 M☉, while the estimated dust mass is 1.53 M☉.[2]

The magnitude 16.88 central star of the planetary nebula is a white dwarf with a spectral type of DAO. It has an M-type co-moving companion at a projected separation of under 5,000 AU.[7] The white dwarf progenitor star had an estimated initial mass of ~2.5 M☉. It left the AGB and entered the cooling stage around 9,400 years ago.[2]

NGC 6781 ist ein planetarischer Nebel im Sternbild Adler am Nordsternhimmel. Er ist zwischen 3000 und 5000 Lichtjahre vom Sonnensystem entfernt. Der Zentralstern besitzt eine Masse von rund 0,6 Sonnenmassen und hat eine Effektivtemperatur von 100.000° Celsius, womit der Großteil seiner Leuchtkraft im ultravioletten Spektralbereich liegt.[3] Messungen der Radio- und Infrarotstrahlung von NGC 6781 haben gezeigt, dass im Nebel nebst ionisierten Gasen auch Moleküle wie Kohlenmonoxid (CO) und Wasserstoff (H2) vorhanden sind.[4]
