It's what is known as a peculiar galaxy – one that has characteristics of both a highly structured spiral galaxy, and a more diffuse elliptical galaxy, thus fitting into neither category, but hanging ...

We use the model to explore the links between the evolution and formation of elliptical galaxies and QSO activity ... an inflow towards the galactic nucleus. The characteristics of the inner inflow ...

Abstract: Continuing our study of galaxy populations in the Antlia cluster, we present a photometric analysis of four galaxies classified as compact elliptical (cE ... a distorted inner structure with ...

Captured by the VST, NGC 3640 reveals a turbulent history of cosmic cannibalism, but its current companion, NGC 3641, remains ...
