NGC 3314 Shows a Barred Spiral Overlaying a Flattened Spiral

I note that galaxy pair NGC 3314 actually shows a barred spiral galaxy overlaying a flattened spiral galaxy. My calculations in my book Galaxy Formation by James A. Green show that barred spiral galaxies are typically about 47 kilolight years across the long axis, and that flattened spirals are typically 88 kilolight years in diameter, which roughly matches the photos of NGC 3314 showing a barred spiral in Hydra overlaying a flattened spiral. My book is described on-line at http://greenwdks.tripod.com/galaxy.html. I derive the relative dimensions of barred spiral galaxies and flattened spirals by assuming that the galaxies formed when the pressure jog associated with the first major atomic recombination event took place, which lowered the pressure by changing the particle number n in P=nkT. This was the He++ to He+ transition in the cooling Big Bang fireball. Assuming an average fireball density equal to the Milky Way density, one can derive the dimensions of fllat spirals, ellipticals, and spherical galaxies using the gravitational potential characteristic of that galactic shape, and examining evaporation of gas from their surfaces, to isolate the dimensions of the bound system. One can also derive the galactic dimensions involved from Jeans Length pressure wave models, which I do in the 2nd part of the book.

'It was discovered in 1999' - this can't be accurate since the NGC catalog was compiled > 100 years ago. Does this statement refer to the discovery that the galaxies were not interacting with each other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capricornus1967 (talk • contribs) 11:19, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
