Astro real hell ...
Team of astronomers from the Universities of Timpigken and Potsdam in Germany studied a very bright star that was detected 20 years ago on the outskirts of our galaxy. They found that the surface temperatures of 42 times higher than the Sun and is the hottest star that we know in the universe. This discovery is very important inter alia because it is a white dwarf, a class of stars that hitherto had not been found that can be grown in such as high temperatures.
The star
The star called RX J0439.8-6809 and is so bright that until recently, astronomers believed that belongs to the Small Magellanic Cloud, a small neighboring galaxy. Researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope originally found that the star moves away from our galaxy at about 800 000 km / hour.
The second and most important discovery is that the surface of the star temperatures that reach 250 degrees Celsius thousands. The temperatures that develop on the surface of the Sun there are more than six thousand degrees Celsius. Indeed, researchers estimate that only a thousand years before the temperatures on the surface of the white dwarf reached the 400 000 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature recorded so far on the surface of a star of the Universe was 200 000 degrees Celsius. As is obvious the new findings published in the journal «Astronomy & Astrophysics» offer scientists new data about the mechanisms of stars.
