  2. Low surface brightness galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_surface_brightness_galaxy

    An image of NGC 45, a low surface brightness spiral galaxy, by GALEX. UGC 477 is located over 110 million light-years away in the constellation of Pisces. [1]A low-surface-brightness galaxy, or LSB galaxy, is a diffuse galaxy with a surface brightness that, when viewed from Earth, is at least one magnitude lower than the ambient night sky.

  3. UGC 6614 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UGC_6614

    UGC 6614 is classified as a low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy. [3] [4] [5] The galaxy is nearly face-on and has a ring-like feature around its bulge, [6] with distinctive extended spiral arms. [7] The bulge of UGC 6614 is found to be red, similar to those of S0 and other elliptical galaxies, hinting at the existence of an old star population. [8]

    UGC 477 [3] is a low surface brightness galaxy, located in the Pisces constellation. It is located over 110 million light years away. [ 5 ] At around 100,000 light years across, it is similar in size to the Milky Way galaxy .

  5. Malin 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malin_1

    Malin 1 is a giant low surface brightness (LSB) spiral galaxy. [1] [5] It is located 1.19 billion light-years (366 Mpc) away in the constellation Coma Berenices, near the North Galactic Pole.

  6. IC 4263 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_4263

    IC 4263 is class IV in luminosity and has a broad HI 1 line. With a surface brightness of 14.20 mag / am 2, IC 4263 can be described as a low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy. LSB galaxies are diffuse (D) galaxies with a surface brightness less than one magnitude lower than that of the ambient night sky.

  7. NGC 7222 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7222

    NGC 7222 also has a surface brightness of 14.20 mag/am, which means it is considered a low surface brightness galaxy (LSB). [5] LSBs are diffuse galaxies that have surface brightness one magnitude lower compared to the ambient night sky .

  8. NGC 5885 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_5885

    With a surface brightness equal to 14.39 mag/am2, we can qualify NGC 5885 as a low surface brightness galaxy (LSB). LSB galaxies are diffuse galaxies with a surface brightness less than one magnitude lower than that of the ambient night sky .

  9. NGC 646 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_646

    The luminosity class of NGC 646 is III. [1] It has surface brightness equal to 14.69 mag/am2. [5] NGC 646 is a low surface brightness galaxy (LSB). [5] LSB galaxies are diffuse (D) galaxies with a surface brightness less than one magnitude lower than that of the ambient night sky.
