The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed the jellyfish-like galaxy JO201 in the Chinese constellation using its Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) camera. This was reported by the observatory,
This was reported by the observatory, reported Ukrinform.
Jellyfish galaxies are a type of galaxy that occurs in clusters and is formed by the preliminary pressure of gas flowing into them. Pre-pressure blows gas into the intergalactic medium, causing bursts of star formation along the gas tail. Eventually, all such galaxies run out of gas and star formation stops.
As a result, the jellyfish-like galaxies in the cluster stop forming new stars faster than neighboring galaxies.
In the telescope image, the “tentacles” of these jellyfish-like galaxies can be seen extending beyond the bright disk of the galactic core. This particular observation comes from studying the sizes, masses, and ages of star-forming clusters.
Astronomers hope that such observations will provide a breakthrough in understanding the connection between the lowering of ram pressure – the process that creates the “tentacles” of these galaxies – and star formation.
WFC3 is said to be a versatile tool that captures images in the ultraviolet and visible ranges.
As Ukrinform reports, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed a large-scale galaxy cluster in the Chinese constellation.
