NGC 6072 [SEP] constellation
NGC 6072
NGC 6072 is a type I nebulae in the constellation Scorpius. It has a dynamical age of 10 years. Its circumstellar envelope is likely to be rich in Carbon as it has very strong CN (Cyanide) spectral lines. CN spectral lines are generally not detected in Oxygen rich AGB (Asymptotic giant branch) circumstellar envelopes. NGC 6072 also shows H (Hydrogen) emission and intense CO (Carbon Monoxide) emission which has been mapped displaying bipolarity and some gas at high velocity. The evolution of this planetary
Theta Lupi
Theta Lupi, Latinized from θ Lupi, is a solitary star in the southern constellation of Lupus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.22. (The planetary nebula NGC 6072 lies 1.4° to the east-northeast.) Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.87 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 410 light years away from the Sun. Relative to its neighbors, this star has a peculiar velocity of . It is a member of the
