Information expansion for GRS 1758-258

GRS 1758-258 was the first microquasar with winged radio features found in early 21-st century. At those times it
was observed at the 6 cm wavelength using the legendary VLA radiotelescope complex. The observation showed two jets that
made a Z-type morphology and indicated the microquasar as strong X-ray emmiter, also capturing another unrelated source.
Data anylysis revealed that system hosts a non-degenerate star and possibly one black hole.

Years later the system was firstly visited and scanned by CMDR GLYN-IE. The interesting thing is that nowadays it
contains two black holes and a neutron star, and as there is no supernova remnants around the place it was either
incorrect observation and assumption or relatively quick supernova cycle or one more black hole was later captured by
the system gravity. In any of these cases, it is a mystery to reveal for the modern scientists.

Information expansion for GRS 1730-312

GRS 1730-312 was firstly detected more than a millenium ago in 1994 with GRANAT orbital
observarvatory and Kvant module of the first multi-module space station Mir. It rapidly became
the most instensive X-ray source in the galactic center region and lasted in this state
for more than a month. After the end of the observation it was concluded to be a soft X-ray
transient which was caused by accretion of ordinary star by either a black hole or a
neutron star.

Nowdays the system hosts 4 black holes: B, C, D could be remnants of the devoured stars in
the past and the central A could be the devourer because of its 150 solar masses which is three
times higher than second most massive black hole in the system.

P.S. I actually was too far away when noticed the lack of the information, so I think some more pictures for attachment are still needed.

When I first started exploring a couple of years ago, I dropped into a system with a "dark" star - it was barely visible, the corona yellow ring was visible was how I
could tell -- maybe it was a glitch in the matrix ;>)
 
So I have noticed on the DW2 expedition we are now passing nebula not yet submitted as POIs on EDSM, they have been visited by others but not posted here. Close to our current waypoint there is a small sized nebula and an un-named planetary nebula close to the larger Magnus nebula and Bleia restricted areas.


Name:Umber Veil
Game map search ref:Hypou Briae WD-T C3-2071
Description:A relativly small red-orange nebula, with dense dust clouds that block out much of the surrounding star light. The dark bands of gas obscure hidden worlds within. Close to the neighbouring Magnus Nebula and mysterious Bleia sectors, this small nebula sits in the inner Perseus Arm near the galactic core. A dense cluster of T-tauri stars along with bright B and A class stars surrounds the area outside the nebula.

Name:Abzu Lodestar
Game map search ref:Phua Chrea XP-P E5-1052
Description:A planetary nebula with a neutron star core orbited by a life bearing water world, a life-bearing gas giant, and two ringed brown dwarfs. Named after the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian mythology that refers to the primeval sea below the void space of the underworld, the source of water and life.

Placeholder note: Phroi Bluae IR-W f1-1530 AB1 - 10.66g landable planet. Should be the new record-holder for highest-G landable. Need pictures, more data.
 
Name CMDR ShadowNUAR
Will my discoveries be added to the map?
Or do you need something else?

Stumbled upon this "terraformables rich" system during DW2
POI category: Planetary features
Name:Kobol-1
Game map search ref:Phroi Bluae TK-E d12-179
Description:two ringed Y dwarf stars, each with 5 terraformables; an additional terraformable HMCW and a terrestrial water world. All within 3.5Kls from an A class main sequence star. Terraformables are circled in blue in scrrenshot

Name:Odin and Fenrir
Game map search ref:Hypiae Phyloi AF-A e946
Description:The primary F-Class Star (1.3 Solar masses) in this system is a contact binary with a pulsar. There is also a white dwarf in the system as well, though it is a little further out. The entry point is within scoopable distance of the F-class star and very close to the pulsar's jets. The system also contains a terraformable high metal content world. Entering this system can be a navigation hazard, as you will probably sail right into one of the 2 stars if you haven't slowed during the inbound jump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This system is located at: 1668.5625 / 1489.40625 / 32300.3125

POI: The Forgotten Twins Nebula (Brairee KD-S e4-2776)

During the Distant Worlds 2 expedition, commander Jav Marlo passed by the system and took some pictures for EDSM.

His logbook can be read at this link.

(...) And one thousand and five hundred light years bellow, there was the system Brairee KD-S e4-2776, also known as the Forgotten Twins Nebula. Little is known about this place. According to the Galactic Mapping Project database, during the original Distant Worlds Expedition, the Eleu Exploration Vessel Velsheda came across this beautiful double nebula while in transit from the Green Crystal to the Magnus Nebula. No more description or pictures in the entry.
I flew around into the system and between its many gas giants mesmerized by the views. Some of them are in very close orbits to the others, making it possible to observe at plain sight three ringed gas giants at the same time, with the neutron star shining in the distance.

Before continuing with the trip, I jumped to the nearby system of Brairee RN-U c18-786 to better watch the nebula from afar. I took some pictures and made mental note to send them to the Galactic Mapping Project initiative as soon I have a chance. (...)

Suggestion for POI's name: The Graeae Nebula
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
Reference System: Aemorrs HX-T e3-4517

This system is indeed a Nebula.

During the Distant Worlds 2 expedition, commander Jav Marlo passed by this system and realized that, in spite of being an already discovered system, nobody reported about its nebula.

His log can be read here.

(...)
Back on track from the Hot Temptation to the basecamp of the expedition at Cerulean Tranquility, I made another curious discovery. I was fuel scooping at Aemorrs PU-N d7-1422, a system with nothing interesting, when I saw what looked like a nebula in front of me. I locked the system in the navigation computer and looked for information in the Galactic Mapping Project database.

enter image description here


From thirty seven light years away it looked like a double planetary nebula with a neutron star at its core. It was strange that the Galactic Mapping Project did not mention that there was a nebula there. The entry only said that the system was visited for first time by commander Scrublord-sama. Once there I could see in the Pilots Federation database that commanders Picker, Dragonsbreath, Polar Fox and Spica had been there too. The neutron star and some of the planets had their name tags. I guess they arrived there running the neutron highway and did not have the time to properly scan the system or to notify it was nebula. A pity because, according to my scanners, the system contains thirty five stellar bodies, many landable moons and it is a green system with everything necessary to synthesize jumponium.

enter image description here


And it is a beautiful place too. The blue and purple colors of the nebula combined with the jets of neutron star and the star mat of the Perseus Arm creates a mesmerizing sight.

enter image description here


I took some pictures before departing and fully scanned all the stellar bodies in order to transmit the data to the Galactic Mapping Project initiative as soon as I were able. If they finally name this nebula, maybe they will recognize that, in spite of being an already discovered system, it was commander Jav Marlo who reported about the nebula during the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. With so many commanders passing by the nebula without telling and being it in the Perseus Stem, it reminded me of the story of The Graeae, the three sorcerer sisters that were sought by Perseus during the beginning of his quest to defeat the Gorgon. The Graeae were three perpetually old women, who had to share a single eye. As the women passed the eye from one to another, Perseus snatched it from them, holding it for ransom in return for the location of the Hesperides that were keeping the weapons he needed to defeat the Gorgon. When the sisters finally agreed to led him to the Hesperides, he returned what he had taken. I think that The Graeae Nebula would be an appropriate name for Aemorrs HX-T e3-4517 system.

It was strange that the Galactic Mapping Project did not mention that there was a nebula there.

Please note that not all planetary nebula are worthy of inclusion. Planetary nebula submissions, particularly those near the galactic core, should be unusual or exceptional if submitted.

it is a green system with everything necessary to synthesize jumponium.

Due to the changes to material collection as well as the ability for EDSM to tell us where the nearest green system is, we are no longer interested in this information.
