IC 1590 is an open cluster located in the nebulosity of NGC 281. The cluster is estimated to be 3.5 million years old, making it relatively young compared to other star systems. Inside the cluster is a multiple-star system that emits light which helps give the dust in NGC 281 its glow.
This is its energy spectrum from JS9 with its most importants energy peaks.
Then, I have calculated each peak's percentatge and find out which elements they contain.
I have used this formula:

Here are my results:

This open cluster:
- 12,78% of Iron (Fe) which energy is 1277.4238 eV.
- 24,27% of Zinc (Zn) which energy is 1700.7122 eV.
COMPARISON
I have not found any article about the composition of IC 1590. However, I kwow that it is in in the nebula NGC 281 and I have found that it is made of carbon, oxigen and hydrogen
In comparison with my results, they does not match with the article.
- Based on my investigation, this nebula is form of iron and zinc.
- What I have done is to find the eV of the tallest peaks of the JS9 energy spectrum and discover what element corresponds to that enery.

I have calculated the electronvolt of this elements with the transition predetermined in this web (from the cap 3 to the 2). The atoms to jump from this capes have to be in a room temperature. Depending to the temperature, the element can have different quantum energy. What is the same, a eV number can be from different elements if they are moving arround differents capes.
It can be possible that the atoms are not moving from the capes I have work with and this might be the reason why my results does not match with the scientifics results.
