Summary
| Description |
English: This is an edgewise spiral with a strange demarcation between splotchy and smooth in the lower left quarter or so of the galaxy. One can see clearly in this Chandra image that star formation is ongoing to the right and quiet to the left of the line.
At the upper left corner against the edge is NGC 3844. Two bright elliptical galaxies, NGC 3841 (smaller, above) and NGC 3842 (larger, lower) are along the left edge of the frame. For some reason the targeted object listed in the ESO's archive was "Massimo's Office". It is centered on the J11434983+1958343 small galaxy directly above UGC 6697's nucleus. I haven't been able to figure out exactly why it was called that, but it might have something to do with Massimo Tarenghi, who retired last year. Red: R band (FORS.1999-03-15T04:51:58.709) Green: V band (FORS.1999-03-11T05:18:39.391) Blue: B band (FORS.1999-03-15T04:35:05.181) North is up. |
