IC 405 (also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, SH 2-229, or Caldwell
31) is an emission/reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga,
surrounding the bluish star AE Aurigae. It shines at magnitude +6.0.
Its celestial coordinates are RA 05h 16.2m dec +34° 28′.It surrounds
the irregular variable star AE Aurigae and is located near the
emission nebula IC 410, the open clusters M38 and M36, and the
naked-eye K-class star Hassaleh. The nebula measures approximately
37.0' x 19.0', and lies about 1,500 light-years away. It is believed
that the proper motion of the central star can be traced back to the
Orion's Belt area.The nebula is about 5 light-years across. |
