Proof-of-concept 3D multi-wavelength data rendering in FRELLED. So far as I know, no other FITS viewer can do this.
The blue shows neutral atomic hydrogen clouds in the Milky Way while the red shows CO (a proxy for molecular hydrogen). The HI is from the GALFA-HI survey while the CO data is from the Extended Outer Galaxy Survey. A certain Kevin Douglas was kind enough to provide data sets which had already been correctly aligned.

Another One Bites The Dust
One of my all-time favourite dark galaxy candidates was discovered by FAST back in 2023 . An isolated gas cloud with no obvious optical coun...

Of course you can prove a negative. In one sense this can be the easiest thing in the world : your theory predicts something which doesn...

In the last batch of simulations, we dropped a long gas stream into the gravitational potential of a cluster to see if it would get torn...

And more importantly, how not to build a galaxy. Uniform discs of pure gas turn out to be almost impossible. Exponential discs - where ther...
Enchanting indeed..
ReplyDeleteI've got this working routinely now. That was surprisingly painless to do. If only I had more multi-wavelength data cubes to test it on...
