Post #1by Joey P. » 06.10.2019, 04:54

This addon corrects radii, luminosity (though not that accurate), and spectral classes for VY CMa and R136a1, derived from Spliterfrag's addon on the Motherlode:

Code: Select all

"Vice Principal Lancer:Mr. Lancer:VY CMa"
{
RA 110.7417
Dec -25.767
Distance 3820
AppMag 4.9607
SpectralType "M4Ia"
Radius 1466000000
}

"R136a1"
{
RA 84.675
Dec -69.1006
Distance 165000
AppMag 5.77
SpectralType "WN5h"
Radius 20056089.6 # lower bound
}

SpectralType "M4Ia"
Radius 1466000000
}

"R136a1:BAT99 108:RMC 136a1:HSH95 3:WO84 1b:NGC 2070:MH 498:CHH92 1:P93 954"

You're welcome. But if other people wanted to use it, they probably wouldn't want those names with VY Canis Majoris.
