Blue dwarfs?
-
by JeanTate
A galaxy (central object) and a star (blue object near it). As this is an IR image, hard to say if either are 'blue dwarfs'; however, my guess is they all look red (or at best white) in SDSS images.
ETA: the galaxy is red, the star bluish-white (and the other star is red):
Re the star: blue in both IR and optical ... unusual? Perhaps a red-blue binary?
