Messier 82 (also known as NGC 3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It is the second-largest member of the M81 Group , with the D 25 isophotal diameter of 12.52 kiloparsecs (40,800 light-years ).
NGC 3125 is a large starburst galaxy in the constellation Antlia.It is located approximately 50 million light-years away from Earth.Starburst galaxies are galaxies in which unusually high numbers of new stars are forming, springing to life within intensely hot clouds of gas.
The source appears as Compton-thin obscurer with an absorption column density of 0.05 +0.07-0.04 x 10 22 cm −2. [6] The large galaxy in the IRAS 10565+2448 is found to be active. It is categorized as a H II galaxy and a starburst galaxy. [4] It is more luminous when compared to its smaller companion galaxy. [7]
UGC 6697 is a large irregular [1] spiral galaxy with a bar [2] located in the Leo constellation. [3] It is located 378 million light-years from the Solar System and has an estimated diameter of 205,000 light-years. [4] UGC 6697 is considered a starburst galaxy which produces high rates of star formation.
The Antennae Galaxies are an example of a starburst galaxy occurring from the collision of NGC 4038/NGC 4039. Credit: NASA/ESA. A starburst galaxy is one undergoing an exceptionally high rate of star formation, as compared to the long-term average rate of star formation in the galaxy, or the star formation rate observed in most other galaxies.
NGC 4332 is a barred spiral galaxy [2] and a starburst galaxy [3] located 128 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Draco. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 20, 1790. [4] NGC 4332 is host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 9.5 × 10 7 solar masses. [5]
NGC 3310 is a grand design spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major.It is a starburst galaxy and it is likely that NGC 3310 collided with one of its satellite galaxies about 100 million years ago, triggering widespread star formation.
The galaxy lies at a distance of 25 million light years from Earth making it located in the local universe. It interacts with its smaller companion NGC 4485 and as a result is a starburst galaxy . NGC 4490 and NGC 4485 are collectively known in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 269.
