==Distance==
Its distance and association with that nebula and the mentioned star is dubious; while some authors think both stars are physically associated and belong to the [[stellar association]] [[Serpens OB1]],<ref name=Chentsov2004/> at a distance to the [[Sun]] of 2.2 kilo[[parsec]]s (7.200 [[light year]]s),<ref name=Naze2011/> others think HD 168625 is farther, at a distance estimated to be 2.8 kilo[[parsec]]s (9,100 [[light year]]s) and unrelated to the former objects.<ref name=Pasquali2002/>
The distance of HD 168625 and its association with the Omega Nebula and HD 168607 is in doubt; while some authors think both stars are physically associated and belong to the [[stellar association]] [[Serpens OB1]],<ref name=Chentsov2004/> at a distance to the [[Sun]] of {{convert|2.2|kpc|ly|lk=on}},<ref name=Naze2011/> or for both per [[Gaia Data Release 2]] about {{convert|1.6|kpc|ly}},<ref name=dr2/> a 2002 study estimates this star is farther, at about {{convert|2.8|kpc|ly}} and unrelated to the other two objects.<ref name=Pasquali2002/>

Assuming a distance of 2.2 kiloparsecs, the star would be 220,000 times brighter than the [[Sun luminosity|Sun]], having a [[Effective temperature|surface temperature]] of 12,000 [[Kelvin|K]].<ref name=Naze2011/> At that distance it can be calculated to be losing mass through a fierce [[stellar wind]] at roughly {{val|1.46|e=-6|ul=solar masses}} per year<ref name=Umana2010/> however this is to be muted somewhat as work realized in 2012 from the [[Very Large Telescope|VLT]] reveal a [[binary star]] system &ndash; <ref name=Martayan2012/> a companion exists around 4.5 [[magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]]s fainter than the primary.<ref name=Martayan2016/>


==Nebula==
⚫
Assuming a distance of 2.2 kilo[[parsec]]s, HD 168625 is 220,000 times brighter than the [[Sun luminosity|Sun]], having a [[surface temperature (star)|surface temperature]] of 12,000 [[Kelvin|K]].<ref name=Naze2011/> It is losing mass through a very strong [[stellar wind]] at a rate of roughly 1.46×10<sup>−6</sup> [[solar mass]]es per year<ref name=Umana2010/> and observations realized in 2012 with the help of the [[Very Large Telescope|VLT]] show it's actually a [[binary star]],<ref name=Martayan2012/> with the companion being around 4.5 [[magnitude (astronomy)|magnitude]]s fainter than the primary.<ref name=Martayan2016/>
⚫
The most notable characteristic of HD 168625 is the presence of a [[nebula]] surrounding it that was discovered in 1994<ref name=Hutsemekers1994/> and that has been studied with the help of several instruments and observatories and telescopes that include among others the [[Hubble Space Telescope]]<ref name=Pasquali2002/> and the [[Very Large Telescope|VLT]].<ref name=Umana2010/>


⚫
Said studies show that HD 168625 is actually surrounded by two nebulae: an inner one that has an elliptical shape and a very complex structure that includes arcs and filaments,<ref name=Pasquali2002/> and a much larger outer one discovered with the help of the [[Spitzer Space Telescope]] that has a [[Bipolar nebula|bipolar shape]] and that looks like a clone of the one surrounding [[Sanduleak -69° 202]], the progenitor of the [[supernova]] [[1987A]] in the [[Large Magellanic Cloud]].<ref name=Smith2007/> This suggests Sanduleak &minus;69° 202 was also a luminous blue variable as well as the possibility of HD 168625 exploding as a [[Type II supernova]] in the near future.<ref name=Smith2007/>

East-north-east of the star and nebula is HD 168701 (HIP 90001), an eclipsing [[beta Lyrae variable|binary of beta Lyrae type]].<ref name=simbad>{{cite simbad |title=HD 168701|access-date=2021-01-05}}</ref> It is at about six times the angular separation of [[HD 168607]] viewed from the solar system and is the third very bright point to the south-east of the nebula. Its parallax of 0.7106 ± 0.0451 [[milliarcseconds|mas]] implies it is about {{convert|1700|parsec}} away.<ref name=simbad/>

HD 168625 (V4030 Sagittarii) is a blue hypergiant star and candidate luminous blue variable located in the constellation of Sagittarius easy to see with amateur telescopes. It forms a visual pair with the also blue hypergiant (and luminous blue variable) HD 168607 and is located to the south-east of M17, the Omega Nebula.

Distance

[edit]

The distance of HD 168625 and its association with the Omega Nebula and HD 168607 is in doubt; while some authors think both stars are physically associated and belong to the stellar association Serpens OB1,[9] at a distance to the Sun of 2.2 kiloparsecs (7,200 ly),[10] or for both per Gaia Data Release 2 about 1.6 kiloparsecs (5,200 ly),[8] a 2002 study estimates this star is farther, at about 2.8 kiloparsecs (9,100 ly) and unrelated to the other two objects.[11]

Physical characteristics

Assuming a distance of 2.2 kiloparsecs, the star would be 220,000 times brighter than the Sun, having a surface temperature of 12,000 K.[10] At that distance it can be calculated to be losing mass through a fierce stellar wind at roughly 1.46×10−6 solar masses per year[13] however this is to be muted somewhat as work realized in 2012 from the VLT reveal a binary star system – [14] a companion exists around 4.5 magnitudes fainter than the primary.[15]

Nebula

[edit]

The most notable characteristic of HD 168625 is the presence of a nebula surrounding it that was discovered in 1994[16] and that has been studied with the help of several instruments and observatories and telescopes that include among others the Hubble Space Telescope[11] and the VLT.[13]

Said studies show that HD 168625 is actually surrounded by two nebulae: an inner one that has an elliptical shape and a very complex structure that includes arcs and filaments,[11] and a much larger outer one discovered with the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope that has a bipolar shape and that looks like a clone of the one surrounding Sanduleak -69° 202, the progenitor of the supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud.[17] This suggests Sanduleak −69° 202 was also a luminous blue variable as well as the possibility of HD 168625 exploding as a Type II supernova in the near future.[17]

East-north-east of the star and nebula is HD 168701 (HIP 90001), an eclipsing binary of beta Lyrae type.[18] It is at about six times the angular separation of HD 168607 viewed from the solar system and is the third very bright point to the south-east of the nebula. Its parallax of 0.7106 ± 0.0451 mas implies it is about 1,700 parsecs (5,500 ly) away.[18]
