The object itself was detected in ESO images dating back to 1980, but its identification as a quasar occurred only several decades later. [2]An automated analysis of 2022 data from the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite did not confirm J0529-4351 as too bright to be a quasar, and suggested it was a 16th magnitude star with a 99.98% probability.
NGC 4449 has a general bar shape, also characteristic of the LMC, with scattered young blue star clusters. Unlike the Large Magellanic Cloud, however, NGC 4449 is considered a starburst galaxy due to its high rate of star formation (twice the one of the LMC) [ 7 ] and includes several massive and young star clusters , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] one of them in ...
I Zwicky 18 is a blue compact dwarf galaxy located about 59 million light years away [2] in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy was first identified by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky in a 1930s photographic survey of galaxies.
The study's aim was to select "an extreme starburst dwarf, the Blue Compact Galaxy Haro 11, with the aim of determining the Lyman continuum escape fraction from UV spectroscopy." [5] The image in the information box above right was made combining data from ESO's Very Large Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. [8]
The Antennae Galaxies are an example of a starburst galaxy occurring from the collision of NGC 4038/NGC 4039. Credit: NASA/ESA. A starburst galaxy is one undergoing an exceptionally high rate of star formation, as compared to the long-term average rate of star formation in the galaxy, or the star formation rate observed in most other galaxies.
Blue Nugget (also called BN) galaxies are a type of distant galaxy that only existed in the early universe. Blue nugget galaxies are small but high mass galaxies undergoing mass bursts of star formation, making many large, bright blue stars. As their stellar population evolves and ages, blue nugget galaxies transition into red nugget galaxies. [1]
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have ended their on-again-off-again romance just weeks after announcing that they're expecting their first child together, according to a report.The couple was ...
The individual segments of a fourteen-segment display. A fourteen-segment display (FSD) (sometimes referred to as a starburst display or Union Jack display [1] [2]) is a type of display based on 14 segments that can be turned on or off to produce letters and numerals.
