Right, I meant: I approached the spot with a full filter (everything included) I did a quick survey as I turned things off seeing what was present, I did not see any TT at that time, before going into the spot and filtering down to only T and Y.In the system map the stars stacked vertically on the left hand side are the only ones that will show up in the galaxy map if the system is unexplored.
Ill be on the lookout, unfortunately I wasnt able to get in game yesterday, hopefully I can get in and continue research today.Stars don't stay in the TT phase very long (~100 million years), so if you see a distribution where they are close enough that you can jump from TT star directly to another TT star, then you are very likely in an area of recent star formation.
No problem Jackie, what's an OUTOPPS?Change of plans for me - I must get to OUTOPPS with all speed, it's on the way back but I'm not going to stop for brown dwarfs until I get there.
Which on it's own is a mean of 7659.8 with a standard deviation of 2849.5 and combined with the data from Jackie gives an average of 5778.6 and a standard deviation of 4144.2 (everything in Myears).
In other words it's all over the place. It is a shockingly small sample size though.

Hehe, it's a red herring, or maybe not. Drew Wagar has been teasing us all with "EB,P" - which is RO,C or "Right On, Commander" in ROT13*. Some of those brown dwarfs I was looking at yesterday are RO-C endings and the DB-C and FB-C ones are alternatives - all this without me (or anyone else) twigging it was just "Right On, Commander"
Anyhoo, OUTOP is hidden elsewhere on his website and there is an area of stars prefixed OUTOPPS so I was heading there at a dash to check out OUTOPPS RO-C B40-0 and B54-0; there's almost certainly nothing there but I'll go to them anyway then survey brown dwarfs around them and then come home.
*the computer geek's favourite cypher: add 13 to the position of any letter in the alphabet to get its complement so E becomes R, R becomes E if you do it again and so on.

Here are some more brown dwarfs; mostly from OUTOPPS and SYNUEFAI.

I am not near my computer ATM, are those two regions from the same outer blue arm as the first two surveys, or are they closer to the galactic center?
As soon as I do a little bit of repairs and retro fitting in the bubble, I am going to do a star count by class in the pink regions to see I can notice any distribution patterns compared with the more average parts of the arms. I can actually do that from the comfort of a space station, so it shouldn't take too long. Once I get enough data, then I'll head back out to test any age or composition questions I might have. Will post an update before I head out again.
Usually large diffuse pink areas are clouds of hot hydrogen being energized by the heat of new stars (like Orion Nebula), so when you found an area with primarily dwarfs and no visible nebula, it seemed mysterious. Now I am wondering if this area is just a older nebula that ran out of most if it's blue stars, or produced more dwarfs, and the gas has been spread out by solar winds and radiative pressure so it looks pink only when you zoom out far enough (like seeing a cloud from a distance). That would explain some of the stellar density as well. But then you'd expect to find many of the stars to be the same age regardless of type.
Ah well, I guess we probably can't expect the stellar forge to be that precise. But still it's very cool that the area on the galactic map corresponds to a distribution you can zoom in on.
Is there an explanation for the layer of T and Y stars in the center of the galactic disc? (in the black stuff, is that what is referred to as "the great rift"?). Perhaps that can tell us why the dwarves may have concentrated in those specific areas?
