Voorwerpjes?

• by CeciliaB

  There are some unusual blue, starforming areas round this galaxy, which is an AGN. Could they possibly be voorwerpjes? Though I suspect that they are not purple enough.

  These are white-blue in colour, so are starforming areas. Voorwerps are a uniform bright blue or red. see this link.

  Thank you, Budgieye. I had a feeling that the patches were just starforming areas, but one always lives in hope 😃
