"IC63: The Ghost of Cassiopeia and Surrounding Gas" Detail of photo © Bray Falls, 9 Jan '24.

Photographer's description (excerpt): "Gamma Cassiopeia is a very hot and luminous star in the middle of the W asterism of Cassiopeia. The light and radiation of this star create many dramatic details in the surrounding dust and gas, and the best of these is the Ghost of Cassiopeia itself. The Ghost is catalogued as IC63, and also as IC59 (for the fainter region). All these IC objects are but small portions of a greater Ha region called Sh2-185."

IC 59 and IC 63

IC 59 and IC 63 are a pair of nebulae located about 600 light years away towards the constellation Cassiopeia. The glow of the nebulae is powered by gamma Cas, a star located only 3-4 light years from the clouds of dust.

Gamma Cas emits ultraviolet radiation that is eroding away at the nebulae. The radiation also ionizes hydrogen gas, stripping electrons from protons. Upon recombination, electrons emit a photon of red light. IC 63 (right) is predominately lit by this process, while IC 59 (left) shows more blue light from reflected starlight.
