Abstract: A recent all-object spectroscopic survey centred on the Fornax cluster of galaxies has discovered a population of subluminous and extremely compact members, called ‘ultra-compact dwarf’ (UCD ...

This image, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows GAL-CLUS-022058s, located in the Fornax constellation of the southern hemisphere. This image, known as the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field ...

Abstract: Many of the scenarios proposed to explain the origin of chemically peculiar stars in globular clusters (GCs) require significant mass loss (≥95 per cent) to explain the observed fraction of ...

This glittering Hubble Space Telescope image shows the spiral galaxy IC 5332, which lies about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor, and has an almost face-on orientation to ...

Why it's so special: The spiral galaxy IC 3225 looks like ... IC 3225 is one of more than 1,300 galaxies that make up the Virgo Cluster. It's a collection of gravitationally bound galaxies ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a spiral galaxy, named UGC 10043. We don’t see the galaxy’s spiral arms because we are seeing it from the side. Located roughly 150 million ...

As the smaller spiral galaxy is torn up and integrated into the larger galaxy, many new stars will form, and the hot, blue ones will quickly burn out, leaving cooler, redder stars behind in an ...

A vibrant spiral galaxy appears to be whizzing through space as if it were launched out of a cosmic cannon. The galaxy, IC 3225, is located about 100 million light-years from Earth and is a member of ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features NGC 1672, a barred spiral galaxy located 49 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Dorado. This galaxy is a multi-talented light ...

Located some 232 million light years away, UGC 2885, also known as Rubin's galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Perseus. With an estimated radius of about 400,000 light years and ...
