Summary
| Description |
A pretty interesting galaxy. This one suffers quite a bit from a lack of exposures, but at least it's discernible. It's listed in Arp's catalogue as an example of a low surface brightness spiral galaxy. It's spiral-ness seems very disturbed and it is possibly interacting with a galaxy South of the frame, PGC 35042. The blue and green channels are somewhat close here, so the colours are a bit muted. Interestingly, North is up in this image. Also, here is a different processing. I am immensely thankful for these wonderful archives of data. Morphological type: SBm Red: WFPC2 F814W Green: WFPC2 F555W Blue: WFPC2 F439W. |
