Backyard Observatory Supernova Search
The Backyard Observatory Supernova Search (BOSS) is conducted by astronomers from Australia and New Zealand since mid 2008 to search for new supernovae in the southern hemisphere.
See NGC 6753 and Backyard Observatory Supernova Search
Barred spiral galaxy
A barred spiral galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bar-shaped structure composed of stars.
See NGC 6753 and Barred spiral galaxy
Constellation
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
See NGC 6753 and Constellation
Epoch (astronomy)
In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.
See NGC 6753 and Epoch (astronomy)
Flocculent spiral galaxy
A flocculent spiral galaxy is a type of spiral galaxy.
See NGC 6753 and Flocculent spiral galaxy
Galactic plane
The galactic plane is the plane on which the majority of a disk-shaped galaxy's mass lies.
See NGC 6753 and Galactic plane
Galaxy morphological classification
Galaxy morphological classification is a system used by astronomers to divide galaxies into groups based on their visual appearance.
See NGC 6753 and Galaxy morphological classification
Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation.
See NGC 6753 and Hubble Space Telescope
Interacting galaxy
Interacting galaxies (colliding galaxies) are galaxies whose gravitational fields result in a disturbance of one another.
See NGC 6753 and Interacting galaxy
Light-year
A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.
Milky Way
The Milky Way is the galaxy that includes the Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye.
Pavo (constellation)
Pavo is a constellation in the southern sky whose name is Latin for.
See NGC 6753 and Pavo (constellation)
Radial velocity
The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.
See NGC 6753 and Radial velocity
Robert Evans (astronomer)
Robert Owen Evans, OAM (20 February 1937 – 8 November 2022) was an Australian minister of the Uniting Church in Hazelbrook, New South Wales, and an amateur astronomer who holds the record for visual discoveries of supernovae (42).
See NGC 6753 and Robert Evans (astronomer)
Spiral arm
Spiral arms are a defining feature of spiral galaxies.
Star formation
Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds in interstellar space, sometimes referred to as "stellar nurseries" or "star-forming regions", collapse and form stars.
See NGC 6753 and Star formation
Supernova
A supernova (supernovae or supernovas) is a powerful and luminous explosion of a star.
Type Ia supernova
A Type Ia supernova (read: "type one-A") is a type of supernova that occurs in binary systems (two stars orbiting one another) in which one of the stars is a white dwarf.
See NGC 6753 and Type Ia supernova
Type Ib and Ic supernovae
Type Ib and Type Ic supernovae are categories of supernovae that are caused by the stellar core collapse of massive stars.
See NGC 6753 and Type Ib and Ic supernovae
Type II supernova
A Type II supernova or SNII (plural: supernovae) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star.
See NGC 6753 and Type II supernova
Unbarred spiral galaxy
An unbarred spiral galaxy is a type of spiral galaxy without a central bar, or one that is not a barred spiral galaxy. NGC 6753 and unbarred spiral galaxy are unbarred spiral galaxies.
See NGC 6753 and Unbarred spiral galaxy
Virial mass
In astrophysics, the virial mass is the mass of a gravitationally bound astrophysical system, assuming the virial theorem applies.
X-ray astronomy
X-ray astronomy is an observational branch of astronomy which deals with the study of X-ray observation and detection from astronomical objects.
See NGC 6753 and X-ray astronomy
