Sh 2-46 (also known asRCW 158), is anH II region, a glowing cloud of ionized hydrogen gas—located in the southern constellation ofSerpens. Situated approximately 6,000 light-years from Earth, the nebula is notable for its red emission caused by the ionization of hydrogen atoms, energized by the central runaway starHD 165319 (O9.7Ib).^[2] It is an isolated nebula positioned above thegalactic plane and containspolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).^[3]^[4]^[5] It is located about 3° west of theEagle Nebula (Messier 16) and is part of broader star-forming activity in the region.^[6]

Central star

[edit]

The primary ionizing source for Sh 2-46 is the massive O-typesupergiant starHD 165319, classified as O9.7Ib. This luminous blue star is arunaway star, believed to have originated in the nearbyEagle Nebula (NGC 6611) but was ejected due to gravitational interactions about 1.8 million years ago. As it travels through Sh 2-46 at high speed, it creates a dynamic environment, including the observedbow shock.^[2]^[3]^[7]^[8]
