Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have observed a nearby young open cluster known as NGC 1647.
Summary
Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have observed a nearby young open cluster known as NGC 1647. Results of the new observations, presented in a paper published April 13 on the pre-print server arXiv , deliver essential information regarding the properties of this cluster. Open clusters (OCs), formed from the same giant molecular cloud, are groups of stars loosely gravitationally bound to each other.
