NGC 1300, viewed nearly face-on; Hubble Space Telescope image. A barred spiral galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bar-shaped structure composed of stars. [1] Bars are found in about two thirds of all spiral galaxies in the local universe, [2] and generally affect both the motions of stars and interstellar gas within spiral galaxies and can affect spiral arms as well.
NGC 1365, also known as the Fornax Propeller Galaxy [2] or the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy, [3] is a double-barred spiral galaxy about 56 million light-years away [4] in the constellation Fornax. It was discovered on 2 September 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop .
NGC 1356 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Horologium. [2] It was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on Dec 23, 1837. [3]At a distance of 550 million light-years (170 Mpc) away from the Sun, [1] NGC 1356 is superimposed over an much more distant galaxy (also a barred spiral), PGC 95415, which is approximately 300 million light-years (93 Mpc) more ...
Milky Way Galaxy's spiral arms and barred core – based on WISE data. The Milky Way was once considered an ordinary spiral galaxy. Astronomers first began to suspect that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy in the 1960s.
NGC 633 is a large barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Sculptor.Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 4,979 ± 18 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 73.4 ± 5.2 Mpc (∼239 million ly). [1]
NGC 6217 is a barred spiral galaxy located some 67 million light years away, [3] in the constellation Ursa Minor. It can be located with a 10 cm (4 in) or larger telescope as an 11th magnitude object about 2.5° east-northeast of the star Zeta Ursae Minoris. [4] The galaxy is inclined by an angle of 33° to the line of sight along a position ...
UGC 6093 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 500 million light years (or about 153 megaparsecs) away from Earth in the constellation of Leo.. This galaxy is known to host an active galactic nucleus, which is caused by the accretion of matter by a supermassive black hole located at its center, thus causing it to emit huge amounts of radiation and making UGC 6093's core shine ...
NGC 7640 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Andromeda.Discovered on October 17, 1786 by the English astronomer William Herschel. The galaxy has an 11th visible magnitude and is located about 30 million light-years from Earth.
