NGC 1333-IRAS 4

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NGC 1333 IRAS 4 or shortly IRAS 4 is a region in the fog NGC 1333 , which consists of several proto stars exists. The NGC 1333-IRAS 4A system consists of the protostars IRAS 4A1 and IRAS 4A2 . There may also be a third protostar in the IRAS 4A system. NGC 1333-IRAS 4B may be a double protostar, but it could also be that there are more protostars in this system. Furthermore, the system NGC 1333-IRAS 4C still exists in some publications , but this is also assigned to the system IRAS 4B and is then referred to as IRAS 4BII.
