A barred spiral galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bar-shaped structure composed of stars. [1] Bars are found in about two thirds of all spiral galaxies in the local universe, [2] and generally affect both the motions of stars and interstellar gas within spiral galaxies and can affect spiral arms as well. [3][4] The Milky Way Galaxy ...
In a landmark study of more than 2,000 spiral galaxies from the largest galaxy census conducted by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers found that so-called barred spiral galaxies were far less plentiful 7 billion years ago than they are today, in the local universe.
Roughly 65 million light-years from Earth, this barred spiral galaxy is a similar size to our Milky Way at 100,000 light-years across. Many stars are concentrated in its central region forming the luminous bar, surrounded by a set of tightly wound spiral arms.
A barred spiral galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bar-shaped structure made of stars. Bars are found in up to 65% of spiral galaxies. They affect the motions of stars, dust and gas. It is believed that bars act a bit like a funnel, pulling matter into the bulge from the disk.
Earliest barred galaxy captured through the James Webb telescope. A galaxy similar to our own and dating back to 11.7 billion years ago has surprised scientists with features that current...
NGC 6956 is a barred spiral galaxy, a common type of spiral galaxy with a bar-shaped structure of stars in its center. This galaxy exists 214 million light-years away in the constellation Delphinus. Scientists used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope […]
Featured here in a new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, NGC 613 is a lovely example of a barred spiral galaxy. It is easily distinguishable as such because of its well-defined central bar and long arms, which spiral loosely around its nucleus.
Here we report observations of ceers-2112, a barred spiral galaxy at redshift zphot ≈ 3, which was already mature when the Universe was only 2 Gyr old.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has delivered an unrivalled snapshot of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672. This remarkable image provides a high definition view of the galaxy’s large bar, its fields of star-forming clouds and dark bands of interstellar dust.
This image of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672 gives a detailed view of its star-forming cloud, including intense regions of star formation near the ends of the galaxy's central...
