獵戶-波江超級氣泡

Soft X-ray image of the Orion-Eridanus Superbubble with ROSAT.

The Orion-Eridanus superbubble in Hydrogen-alpha, with the Barnard's Loop and Eridanus Loop. Image covers the same area of the sky as the left image.

Part of the Orion-Eridanus Superbubble with ROSAT. The contours are 100 Mircon IRAS observations and show the shielding of soft x-rays by a filament.

獵戶-波江超級氣泡或波江座阮X射線增強區是在獵戶星雲的一個超級氣泡。這個區域可能與獵戶座OB1關聯的超新星殘骸重疊；氣泡的直徑大約1,200光年^[1]。它是最靠近包含太陽在內的本地泡的超級氣泡，各自的激震波前緣大約相隔500光年^[1]。

這個結構是1970年代由卡爾·海爾斯以21公分電波觀測發現的^[2]。
