Fractal Analysis of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
In this paper, the Helix nebula (NGC 7293) is postulated to be a fractal describable by a Julia set. In order to support this hypothesis, a cometary filament is chosen from the periphery of the shell and is analyzed using an automated software. The box dimension of NGC 7293 is found to be 1.841059.
