摘要: We report the detection of HI line at 21 cm in direction alpha Ori with Nancay Radiotelescope and Very Large Array. The observations confirm previous emission centered on Ori, but additionally reveal for first time a quasi-stationary detached shell neutral atomic hydrogen ~4 arcmin. diameter (0.24 pc distance 200 pc). appears elongated opposite to star's space motion. A simple model shows that this gas can result from collision stellar wind local interstellar medium (ISM). It implies has been losing matter rate ~ 1.2x10^-6 solar masses per year past 8x10^4 years. In addition, we associated far-infrared arc located 6 north-east suggested trace bow shock resulting motion star through ISM. also by Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) far-UV counterpart arc.
