M2梅西耶2,也称为NGC 7089,在虚宿一(宝瓶座β)北方5度,是位于宝瓶座的一个球状星团。它是乔瓦尼·多梅尼科·马拉迪在1746年发现的,是已知最大的球状星团之一。

发现和可见性

此章节尚无参考来源,内容或许无法查证。 (2021年3月1日)

乔瓦尼·多梅尼科·马拉迪在1746年与雅克·卡西尼一起观测彗星时发现了这个球状星团。查尔斯·梅西耶在1760年重新发现了它,但认为它是一个星云,没有任何恒星与它有关。在1783年,威廉·赫谢尔率先解析出这个星团中的恒星。

在非常好的观测条件下,肉眼可以直接看见M2。双筒望远镜或小望远镜可以确认这是星团,不是单独的一颗恒星。大望远镜可以解析出一颗颗的恒星,集团中最亮的恒星其视星等为13.1等。

特征

M2距离地球大约55,000光年,直径175光年,是已知较的球状星团之一。这个星团的恒星为数众多且紧凑,整体呈现显著的椭圆形。它有130亿年的历史,是与银河系相关的古老球状星团之一。[来源请求]

M2包含大约150,000颗恒星,已知其中有21颗变星。星团中最亮的恒星是红巨星黄巨星,整体的光谱类型是F4[4]。 M2是盖亚香肠的一部分,这被认为是银河系吞噬的一个矮星系遗骸[7]
