NGC 1055 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus.The galaxy has a prominent nuclear bulge crossed by a wide, knotty, dark lane of dust and gas. The spiral arm structure appears to be elevated above the galaxy's plane and obscures the upper half of the bulge.
NGC 2207 is in the process of colliding and merging with IC 2163. But unlike the Antennae or the Mice Galaxies, they are still two separate spiral galaxies. They are only in the first step of colliding and merging, with NGC 2207 being in the process of tidally stripping IC 2163. Soon they will collide, probably looking a bit more like the Mice ...
The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 19 spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light. - NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Janice Lee (STScI), Thomas Williams (Oxford), PHANGS Team
NGC 7496 was one of the first galaxies to be examined by the James Webb Space Telescope, in June 2022, as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS)–JWST survey, whose goal was to study star formation and the interstellar medium in nearby galaxies. [6] The mid infrared images revealed filaments and cavities ...
NGC 5394 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 3,639 ± 14 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 53.7 ± 3.8 Mpc (∼175 million ly). [1] NGC 5394 was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1787.
The unusual spiral morphology of BX442 was discovered using images obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope by a team of astronomers led by David R. Law of the University of Toronto. While the Hubble image suggested the galaxy's spiral structure however, it didn't conclusively prove that the galaxy rotated like modern-day spiral galaxies.
The morphological classification is SB(r)ab, [4] which indicates it is a barred spiral with an inner ring structure and moderate to tightly wound arms. [5] It is situated in physical proximity to the galaxies NGC 4291 and NGC 4386 , with X-ray emissions from the intervening gap indicating NGC 4319 and NGC 4291 may be interacting . [ 6 ]
NGC 5068 is a face-on field barred spiral galaxy in the Virgo constellation. NGC 5068 is located approximately 22 million light-years away and has a diameter that exceeds 45000 light-years. [2] [3] Although no supernovae have been observed in NGC 5068 yet, a luminous red nova, designated AT 2020hat, was discovered on 12 April 2020 (type LRN ...
