Starforming area in UGCA 436

• by Budgieye moderator

  I'm not sure what this is. NED says source of UV. Probably a star-forming area.

  GALEXASC J230959.82+182659.1 23h09m59.8s +18d26m59s UvS

  Yeah looks like starforming area in an otherwise quiet dwarf galaxy, very local though. No further info found except in DECaLS looks more like a disturbed / irregular galaxy with more starforming hotspots.

  The closest foreground star 6 o'clock in the GZ object image however contains exoplanet WASP-21b discovered in 2010.

  Great info on the exoplanet! I didn't know exoplanet info was on SIMBAD. I'll put it in the Index.
