Trolligi's addons

[Trolligi 112477]

This addon adds the Eagle Nebula (as well as the Pillars of Creation), and some of its most luminous O and B-type stars. This addon was made with Lux H.M.T.. The distance to the Eagle Nebula is 1706 parsecs.

If you have Nussun's OB associations addon, you need to put that in a separate folder titled "ob-associations" or something, doesn't matter that much, as long as it starts with any letter except z.

I may add more dark nebulosity below the pillars of creation sometime

This addon adds almost all bright stars within the Cat's Paw Nebula, also known as NGC 6334. This addon was originally made by Lux H.M.T. and expanded on by me. The distance to the Trifid Nebula is 1750 parsecs.

The addon folder's name starts in zzz so it loads last, just in case there is any other addon that adds this object or stars in it, this will override it

There's also a lot of dust in Cat's Paw which I didn't bother adding

This addon adds the nearby Ring Nebula as well as its central stars. The addon was made with Lux HMT.

I don't think the orientation of the nebula ingame is exactly correct though

This addon adds the nearby Bug Nebula as well as its central star. The addon was made with Lux HMT.

I can confirm that this time the orientation of the nebula is correct

Please redownload the Bug Nebula if you've already downloaded it - I uploaded a new version with the correct orientation of the nebula

Added after 3 hours 42 minutes:
Also redid the Ring Nebula - redownload that if you'd like

This small addon adds the GAFO Region, a small star-forming nebula, located in the Virgo Cluster. Its projected distance from NGC 4438 is almost 60,000 light years, meaning it's basically in intergalactic space. A star cluster inside the nebula has also been detected but due to floating point errors I can't include any fictional stars in the star cluster for this addon.

Ingame, the GAFO region is quite a bit further away from NGC 4438 because GAFO is 17 Mpc from Earth and NGC 4438 ingame is not


Pretend that there's a star cluster here

This addon adds SECCO 1, or at least its most massive and bright stars. SECCO 1 is a blue blob, a small intergalactic hydrogen cloud that is now undergoing starburst. These hydrogen clouds were probably stripped off a nearby galaxy as it entered the Virgo cluster, where SECCO 1 is located.

SECCO 1 is made up of two parts, a main body, containing most stars, and a secondary body.


SECCO 1 with magnitude limit at maximum. Only the brightest O stars are shown

This addon adds some star-forming regions within the Leo Ring, a huge 650,000 light year wide ring of intergalactic gas surrounding the Leo Group of galaxies, described in https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021A&A...651A..77C/abstract . It's all estimated to be about 11 Mpc away.

The addon adds several nebulae, 7 real known stars (with estimated parameters from mass, age and metallicity) as well as several thousand randomly generated stars to visualise known/predicted clusters around these 7 real stars, most of which are very massive O-type stars. (Credits to Nussun's star cluster generator for the clusters)
