Spotlight on IC 3583

This delicate blue group of stars — actually an irregular galaxy named IC 3583 — sits some 30 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin).

It may seem to have no discernable structure, but IC 3583 has been found to have a bar of stars running through its centre. These structures are common throughout the Universe, and are found within the majority of spiral, many irregular, and some lenticular galaxies. Two of our closest cosmic neighbours, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, are barred, indicating that they may have once been barred spiral galaxies that were disrupted or torn apart by the gravitational pull of the Milky Way. Something similar might be happening with IC 3583. This small galaxy is thought to be gravitationally interacting with one of its neighbours, the spiral Messier 90. Together, the duo form a pairing known as Arp 76. It’s still unclear whether these flirtations are the cause of IC 3583’s irregular appearance — but whatever the cause, the galaxy makes for a strikingly delicate sight in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, glimmering in the blackness of space.

IC 3583

IC 3583 ist eine Irreguläre Galaxie mit ausgedehnten Sternentstehungsgebieten vom Hubble-Typ IBm im Sternbild Jungfrau auf der Ekliptik. Sie ist schätzungsweise 48 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt und hat einen Durchmesser von etwa 35.000 Lichtjahren. Unter der Katalognummer VVC 1686 wird sie als Mitglied des Virgo-Galaxienhaufens gelistet. Gemeinsam mit Messier 90 bildet sie das gravitativ gebundene Galaxienpaar Arp 76 .. weiterlesen
