Maybe you've noticed this, when you zoom out or look at the galactic map with stars filtered out, you can still see small glowing blobs where the star is.
I became interested in these, wondering why these systems would show up even with their stars turned off.
I was initially hopeful they were stars with mini-nebula, like Ghost of Jupiter.
However, by zooming out, finding one of these, zooming in until close then turning stars on again to select them, this doesn't appear to be the case (at least from the one i actually visited).
The common feature from looking at half a dozen is they are all very rare stars, usually very bright ones.
Examples so far were either: O types, multi B or B and O systems, and Herbigs.
They are also very rare in terms of numbers. Perhaps one per several thousand LY, at least in the Saggitarius arm, probably more in the core region.
Anyone else noticed this and investigated them? Did you notice a common theme? Are they just visible because they are super bright they somehow get an aura?
