Trolligi's addons

[Trolligi 112477]

This addon adds the nearby Helix Nebula, as well as its central star and its candidate superheated exoplanet. The nebula model itself was entirely done by Lux HMT, so thanks to him for that. Also credits to LukeCEL for the tail model and cubicApoc for the emissive model which I used for the planet

yeah so turns out the planet isn't real, so here is the version without the planet

This addon adds the cluster Cl 1806-20, which contains LBV 1806-20 within it. Note that Cl 1806-20 can also be found in my DHMSA-CHIIR addon (viewtopic.php?p=155911#p155911), but that was from 3 years ago and since then my techniques have improved. You don't need to delete any files if you have DHMSA-CHIIR already installed

This addon also adds the magnetar SGR 1806-20 and its hypothetical exoplanet, as described in https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2024/06/aa47828-23/aa47828-23.html as an explanation for observed fast radio bursts - the paper proposes that they are created when a planet on an extremely eccentric orbit reaches periastron and is slightly disrupted, and the fragments that are ripped off the planet interact with the star, producing the observed bursts.

This addon adds 20 star clusters discovered by the VVV survey and 89 of their constituent stars as described by https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2011/08/aa16662-11/aa16662-11.html

Some of them clusters

This addon adds RCW 36, a roughly bipolar star-forming region within the huge Vela C molecular cloud, located over 3,200 light years away and part of the Vela Molecular Ridge. RCW 36 is ionised by a central cluster with two O-type stars and a B-type star.

Since RCW 36 and Vela C are closer to the galactic anticentre, this addon is part of GA-MSCHIIR too (see viewtopic.php?p=158690#p158690)
