Category:Star Clusters: Difference between revisions

This category lists all known star clusters, both open & globular.

Method

1. Provide Perplexity the dimensions of the nebula/star cluster/state's established coordinates of its central plane:

A closed globular form is represented on a 2D map with the following (JSON format) coordinates. Generate that 2D representation as an image with a defining boundary.

Attach those points; ex:

"points":[{"x":-31.16,"y":10.75,"z":0},{"x":-32.15,"y":8.55,"z":0},{"x":-29.8,"y":7.14,"z":0},{"x":-27.71,"y":10.75,"z":0},{"x":-26.6,"y":12.82,"z":0},{"x":-28.14,"y":12.51,"z":0}]

Confirm the provided image roughly matches the actual shape in SST.

2. Determine the relative center of the the nebula/star cluster/state:

What is the coordinate for the geographic center of this shape?

3. Determine the greatest length between established coordinates of the nebula/star cluster/state:

What is the longest dimension that exists within this shape?

4. Determine the upper and lower z-axis values, based on that greatest length; modify as necessary/pertinent.

5. Determine the approximate volume by the central plane's established dimension:

Presuming a cylinder model with conic caps, a minimum Z-axis point of -# ,and a maximum z-axis point of +#, what is the approximate volume of the 3D shape?

6. For star clusters, determine the possible range of stars within that volume:

In an open star cluster (with an average cluster-wide density) of ### cubic lightyears, what is the range of expected number of stars?
