Category:Star Clusters
This category lists all known star clusters, both open & globular.
- Note: For the sake of simplicity, the dimensions of star clusters in Starship Tracker are perfectly identical from the top to the bottom.
Method
1. Provide Perplexity the dimensions of the nebula/star cluster/state's established coordinates of its central plane:
- A closed asymmetrical shape 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 and the greatest length doubled:
- Calculate the volume of a large irregular diffuse nebula (not bipolar) with a fractal boundary and vertical extent of ## units, using the defined cross-sectional area as the base.
6. For star clusters, determine the possible range of stars within that volume:
- In an open star cluster (with an average cluster-wide density) with a volume of xxx cubic lightyears, what is the range of expected number of stars?
