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.
The larger spiral, NGC 2207, is classified as an intermediate spiral galaxy exhibiting a weak inner ring structure around the central bar. The smaller companion spiral, IC 2163, is classified as a barred spiral galaxy that also exhibits a weak inner ring and an elongated spiral arm that is likely being stretched by tidal forces with the larger ...
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 ...

UGC 2885 (Rubin's Galaxy, [10] nicknamed "Godzilla galaxy" [11]) is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SA(rs)c in the constellation Perseus.It is 232 million light-years (71 Mpc) from Earth and measures 463,000 ly (142,000 pc) across, making it one of the largest known spiral galaxies.
Candidate: Galaxy was well studied at the time of the discovery by Singh et al. The galaxy was classified as spiral or irregular galaxy. [17] MCG+07-47-10 2016 radio source has a low luminosity [19] J0354-1340 2022 spiral host that is a narrow-line Seyfert 1, size of the de-projected jets is 250 kpc [20] J0209+0750 2022
NGC 4777 is an intermediate spiral ring galaxy. [4] It is estimated to be about 180 million light-years (or about 54 megaparsecs) away from the Sun. [3] It was discovered on March 3, 1786 by the astronomer William Herschel. [5]
NGC 4689 is a spiral galaxy located about 54 million light-years away [2] in the constellation of Coma Berenices. [3] NGC 4689 is also classified as a LINER galaxy. [2] NGC 4689 is inclined at an angle of about 36° which means that the galaxy is seen almost face-on to the Earth's line of sight. [4]
