[edit]

ISM is an amateurs term, there is no scientific source for this. Science knows about these structures since decades and call it galactic cirrus. Furthermore: These structures are not only located outside the galactic plane, but everywere in and around it. The followeing sentence in that article is wrong: "IFNs lie beyond the main body of the galaxy" ISM is just a hype of amateur astronomers. Over all IFN are just simple interstellar mater (ISM) which can be found and captured with photos quite everywere in the nightsky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.216.64.75 (talk) 14:02, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seen in other galaxies

The objects of which "Hanna's Vortwerp" (spelling?) are examples of IFN in other galaxies — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:e422:3c01:d569:c950:d510:6dce (talk) 11:11, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

page needs renaming

[edit]

The term "integrated flux nebula" is not a proper name; as such, the name according to Wikipedia standards should be "Integrated flux nebula", not "Integrated Flux Nebula". 51.175.156.113 (talk) 14:40, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a technical term actually used in the field?

[edit]

There's an anonymous comment above that suggests that this term is not actually used in the field. The article is poorly sourced; the main reference [1] currently yields an error message, and the relevance of the two archived links is unclear. The non-standard capitalization of the title (which seems to be mirrored by most of the few occurrences of the term on the Web) adds to this overall dubous impression. I've added the {{expert needed}} template. I suspect the article should either be deleted, or renamed to remove the capitalization. (Note that the article is listed in {{Nebulae}}.)
