Green Pea?

• by Alpha_Aurigae

  At first I thought the greenish object might be a green pea. However when I consulted the image on Skyserver there are more less greenish objects. So I am starting to doubt this is a green pea. Filter issue?

  For examples of peas, see Galaxy Colour Chart http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ0000ulp?page=2 in the Oxygen column.

  Hi Budgieye,
  I guess I can delete the object from my Green Pea collection then.The ones in the chart look much brighter.

  Yes, I think star rather than pea. Yellow stars look green in these images because of the way colours are assigned channels. see Zooite Guide to SDSS Spectra
