Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1097 - NGC 1097, a barred spiral galaxy and elliptical companion...

IMAGE number
PIX4609643
Image title
Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1097 - NGC 1097, a barred spiral galaxy and elliptical companion - Located at a distance of about 45 million years - light in the constellation of the Furnneau, NGC 1097 is subject to intense star formation and is an active nucleus galaxy with a supermassive black hole in its heart. At the top right of the image, a special elliptical satellite galaxy, NGC 1097A, probably interacted with NGC 1097 in the past. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. NGC 1097 is a fine, barred spiral galaxy seen from a distance of about 50 million light years. The galaxy is unusual in several respects. It is a fairly strong radio source and is also bright at far infrared wavelenghts, indicating the presence of warm dust. The galaxy is also interacting woth a small elliptical galaxy, seen in the upper right (NW) corner of the picture. This galaxy shows the subtle interleaved 'shells' or stepped changes in brightness resulting from the interaction. Finally, the galaxy is known to have extremely faint, large - scale, optical jet - like structures emanating from its nucleus. These extend far beyond the image presented here and are not seen on this photo
