NGC 1023 is the largest member of a small group of galaxies in Perseus. After extensive study, NGC 1023 has been classified as a barred lenticular galaxy, which have protruding central bulges that ...

But these fleeting starbursts are only pieces of the story, astronomers say. An analysis of archival images of small, or dwarf, galaxies taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope suggests that ...

McQuinn’s team analyzed archival Advanced Camera for Surveys data of three dwarf galaxies: NGC 4163, NGC 4068, and IC 4662. Their distances range from 8 to 14 million light-years away.

Hubble observations of NGC 1754 confirm it as a compact, old globular cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud, with a core radius of 2.74 light years, half-mass radius of 10.2 light years, age of 12 ...

NGC 2336 is a barred spiral galaxy, meaning it has a star-dense center in the shape of a bar, with arms that spiral out from the ends of the bar. The galaxy is also very large, 200,000 light-years ...

Observations of the stellar dynamics of the compact lenticular galaxy NGC 1277 show that its central black hole accounts for more than half of the mass of the host galaxy’s bulge, indicating ...
