M18 (疏散星团)

M18梅西耶18,也称为NGC 6613,是在人马座的一个疏散星团。 它是梅西耶在1764年发现,并被列入它的类似彗星天体的清单中[8]。从地球的位置来看,M18位于欧米茄星云人马座恒星云(M24)之间[3]

这是一个稀疏的[9]星团,实直径大约8秒差距[5]潮汐半径大约7.3秒差距[6],恒星集中的核心半径为0.012秒差距[10]。它的川普勒分类是II 3 p[4]。M18的年龄约为3,300万年[6],质量估计为188 M[5]。它拥有一颗Be星和总共29颗B型星[9]。有三颗超巨星,都是 A型早期型[11]。 最亮的一颗(卢西达)是HD 168352,光谱类型是B2III,视星等+8.65 [4]

M18距离地球1,296秒差距[2],距离银河中心6,830秒差距[5]。它围绕银河核心运行的周期为1.865亿年,离心率为0.02。这使它可以接近银河中心至6,500秒差距,或远离至6,800秒差距。它约每2,740万年会穿越银河盘面一次,而在盘面上下方的垂直距离不会超过80秒差距[1]
