WHAT DOES CASSIOPEIA A MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cassiopeia A

Cassiopeia A

Cassiopeia A is a supernova remnant in the constellation Cassiopeia and the brightest extrasolar radio source in the sky at frequencies above 1 GHz. It had a flux density of 2720±50 Jy at 1 GHz in 1980; its flux density at 1 GHz is decreasing at a rate of 0.97±0.04 percent per year. This decrease means that at frequencies below 1 GHz Cas A is now less intense than Cyg A. The supernova occurred approximately 11,000 light-years away in the Milky Way. The expanding cloud of material left over from the supernova now appears approximately 10 light-years across from Earth's perspective. Despite its radio brilliance, however, it is extremely faint optically, and is only visible on long-exposure photographs. It is believed that first light from the stellar explosion reached Earth approximately 300 years ago but there are no historical records of any sightings of the progenitor supernova, probably due to interstellar dust absorbing optical wavelength radiation before it reached Earth. Possible explanations lean toward the idea that the source star was unusually massive and had previously ejected much of its outer layers.
