Bulge or outflow of gas?

by Budgieye moderator

This galaxy seem to have a bulge around the nucleus. It may be outflow of gas, though I would expect that to be green. . Or it may be the usual fuzz surrounding an image.

Good catch! 😄

Here it is in SDSS DR8 (actually SDSS J011821.34-025856.1) :

And DR10 (the same?):

No SDSS spectrum, sadly, and nothing in NED on it.

Very much like M82; well worth bringing to the attention of an astronomer, such as NGC3314! 😃

Just posted this in the GZ forum, here.

I will ask him to take a look. Edit: I think this might wait, since there are more exciting things with his Hubble Space Telescope project with overlaps. see We got observing time http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=9102.msg662021 #msg662021
