NGC 4414 is a flocculent spiral galaxy, with short segments of spiral structure but without the dramatic well-defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral. The galaxy was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, as part of the HST's main mission to determine the distance to galaxies, and again in 1999 as part of the Hubble Heritage project .
NGC 4565 is a giant spiral galaxy more luminous than the Andromeda Galaxy. [6] Much speculation exists in literature as to the nature of the central bulge. In the absence of clear-cut dynamical data on the motions of stars in the bulge, the photometric data alone cannot adjudge among various options put forth.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a breathtaking image of the spiral galaxy NGC 2566. Astronomers use detailed Hubble images to study star clusters and active star-forming regions.
NGC 4603 is a spiral galaxy located about 107 [2] million light years away in the constellation Centaurus. It is a member of the Centaurus Cluster of galaxies, belonging to the section designated "Cen30". The morphological classification is SA(s)c, [4] which indicates it is a pure spiral galaxy with relatively loosely wound arms. [5]
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 .
The star formation rate in NGC 2835 is 1.3 M ☉ per year and the total stellar mass of the galaxy is 10 10 M ☉. [7] In the centre of NGC 2835 lies a supermassive black hole whose mass is estimated to be 3-10 million (10 6.72±0.3) M ☉, based on the spiral arm pitch angle. [8] NGC 2835 is the foremost galaxy in a small group of galaxies ...
A Hubble Space Telescope image of the supergiant elliptical galaxy ESO 306-17. Supergiant elliptical galaxies are some of the largest galaxies known. The Condor Galaxy is a colossal spiral galaxy disturbed by the smaller IC 4970 .
