NGC 7094 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation of Pegasus. NGC 7094 was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis Swift on 10 October 1884.[7]
Observation
[edit]With an apparent visual magnitude of 13.4, a telescope with an aperture of at least 250 mm (9.8 in) is required to observe it.[4]


The nebula NGC 7094 is located about 3.4 degrees northwest of Enif (Epsilon Pegasi) and about 1.8 degrees northeast of the globular cluster M15.
Characteristics
[edit]Distance, size, and velocity
[edit]The online software Aladin Lite can query astronomical data from several catalogs, including the "GAIA EARLY DATA RELEASE 3 (GAIA EDR3)".[8] The parallax of NGC 7094 is 0.6042 ± 0.0336 ms (0.0006042 ± 3.36×10−5 s),[2] corresponding to a distance of 1655 +97
−87 pc.
The Simbad database lists four distance values:[6] 1.382 ± 0.276 kpc (4.51 ± 0.90 kly),[9] 1,655.081 ± 92.0403 pc (5,398.152 ± 300.195 ly),[10] 1,626.2807 ± 155.2491 pc (5,304.218 ± 506.355 ly)[11] and 1,358 pc (4,430 ly).
The apparent size of the nebula is 1.57 arcminutes, which corresponds to a physical size of 2.34 +0.15
−0.13 ly. The nebula's radius is estimated at 0.393 pc.[5]
Two highly uncertain velocity values are reported in Simbad: 2 ± 72 km/s (1.2 ± 44.7 mi/s)[12] and −1 ± 34 km/s (−0.62 ± 21.13 mi/s).[13]
Age
[edit]The age of NGC 7094 is approximately 7770 years.[5]
Central star
[edit]The central star of NGC 7094 is a PG 1159 star, which is a transitional star evolving toward a white dwarf stage.[14]
Its visual magnitude is 13.59, with an estimated mass of 1.791 . Its surface temperature reaches 110 kK (109,730 °C; 197,540 °F) () and its luminosity is 5129 ().[5]
