Galaxy Zoo Talk
Tricky one here - my eye was drawn to the irregular blob, but the object at the centre is probably just a nearby star - right?
Near perfect #barredspiral with at least one faint spiral arm extending beyond primary disk.
I think there is a central #elliptical - not sure about the two at 11o'clock. one merging, maybe? Unusually #bright
#irregular galaxy with some #starforming areas.
Maybe not merging as such, but seems to be #tidaldebris perhaps between central galaxy and the one at 8 o'clock?
Faint Lens effect?
The 'tail' is just a diffraction spike from a foreground star.
Just looks like an overlap here, but looks odd in DR8, and has a weird-looking spectrum...
2MFGC13199 - wonderful X-form nucleus and the first I've seen in the UKIDSS dataset. Lovely dustlane, clear in DR8.
The darker (red) area below seems to show as an off-axis #dustlane in skyserver DR8,
UKIDSS makes it look irregular but DRS clearly shows two #spiral arms and #clumpy areas.
NGC4577
Target off centre.
An artifact caused by bright foreground star, but an odd one I figured might be worth flagging up. UKIDSS seems prone to 'lens flare'...
UGC07596. V faint in UKIDSS cameras. Fortunately it is within the DR8 coverage, but even there it's hard to tell what type of galaxy
Looks lenticular but the two 'dimples' are suggesticative of spiral arms, or is this just coincidental nearby stars?
Very #bright galactic nucleus
I'd say #overlap as no interaction disturbance can be seen.
Looks rather 'fuzzy blob' here, shows more structure in DR8.
NGC3083, lovely #edgeon with apparently #boxy nucleus. UKIDSS seems to resolve this into a 'cross' formation.
FGC0860 #edgeon
Sort of looks like a Pea galaxy but the redshift is too low...
Looks to be edgeon, but not much evidence of a disk.
What looks like a fine #lenticular galaxy top left, but the camera hasn't centred on anything. DR8 has the galaxy centred ok.
Another one of those 'nearly edge-on' ones, don't know if these are scientifically 'useful' in any special way?
#markarian MRK0611
#starformation
UGC04915, nearly edgeon in DR7
IC0214 strangely 3-dimensional -looking structure for a 2-D photo.
#starformation #irregular
MRK1031
This isn't listed in NED, but it looks a little like a Green Pea galaxy..?
Mostly foreground stars - only classify what you see in the centre.
All foreground stars I suspect, no galaxy here.
Red line probably a faint satellite trail. Looks like a lenticular galaxy with some #starformation going on.
I agree with john - we're supposed to classify the object at centre but it's virtually impossible to see!
IC0883. Well worth a look in DR7, some sort of collision. Impossble to tell from this image.
#irregular
#dustlane #edgeon galaxy with dazzling #bright nucleus, If you look closely can see an X-form emanating.
FGC1871
Hard to see in this AR image but in DR7 it's clearly a #barredspiral
Faint smudge to right, also visible in DR8.
Some camera artifacts, just not sure what the green arc is - doesn't show up in the (fuzzy) Skyserver image.
Seems unusually compact for an edge-on, most of them have a broad disk, but not showing here.
Well NED says this is UGC10549, and in DR7 it looks like a fascinating #starforming cluster. But how to describe it using this slide?
NGC1576 - I marked as elliptical but NED says it's an s0 type #lenticular. Definitely some disturbance has occurred.
UGC02836 / MRK1405 - lots of greenish areas here, are they significant?
Little smudge of something at eleven o'clock. Four points in a square probably some odd artifact of the camera or processing.
A classic #clumpy by GZ descriptions, maybe a spiral layout. No lens here for me.
UGC08924 - if you look at the right side it might be edgeon, but the left side of the disc looks 'warped', if that's possible...
NED has it listed as a #QSO or possibly a BL Lac object, interesting either way. X-Ray source also.
Faint ring with spikes? I feel there is some interaction with the reddish galaxy.
UGC06008 Nearly #edgeon #starforming strangely #flat -looking galaxy - maybe no bulge in nucleus?
#Arakelian galaxy ARK020
Weird - I marked this as a star, but it's so fuzzy it could be anything. The haze above just adds layers to its weirdness.
NGC1604.
Another strangely blue-looking elliptical...
Looking at Skyserver suggests it is a very disturbed Barred Spiral but I agree could be galaxies merging. Not sure about the colors.
Strikingly 'flat' disc with faint #dustlane visible more clearly using the i-wavelength and logarithm.
Some bluish tinges - star formation? Seems unlikely in what appears to be an elliptical galaxy.
It may be just an effect of the filters but this is the first occasion where I have seen something #lens -like in GZ.
NED lists an IrS galaxy at this location but viewed in DR8 the central object looks similar to nearby stars...
Is the faint blob centre right significant or just an artifact? - almost seems like a lens flare in the camera...
Very odd 'jet' stretching to lower right.
Faint #dustlane , virtually #edgeon
NGC0332 #asteroid
Hard to tell but seems to have been #disturbed, an enigmatic galaxy.
Seems to be all 'bar' and very faint wispy spiral arms, or maybe it's just debris I'm seeing?
The new Hubble deep space blobs are getting interesting now, colourful too...
That's what I marked it as, but very hard to be sure on these new Hubble images - lots going on here I think.
An interesting and colourful clump, somehow more so than many other Hubble deep space objects.
FGC1015 #edgeon #dustlane
seems to be a faint object at 11o'clock - another galaxy or photographic artifact?
looks like a regular galaxy forming, but merging with, or in the vicinity of #clumpy 'debris'.
Another 'out of alignment' dustlane.
I've seen plenty of hubble pics, I know they're often fuzzier/pixelated, but - spikes? well I guess this could be a star but I'm not sure.
pity this can't be seen on DR8 - something weird here and hard to classify.
Very diffuse spiral? Rare example of a galaxy showing dffraction spikes - well that's what it looks like to me...
Yeah, what's going on here? Can't view on DR8 and yet 98 objects noted in NED. Seems a lot of scientific interest in these clumpy blobs...
MCG -01-06-043 seems to be #dustlanes all over this distorted-looking, active galaxy. Is it in collision with a smaller object?
#starforming regions, appears to have a 'flattened' (boxy) nucleus, but seen from slight angle.
MRK0944
#overlap I think, as there doesn't seem to be any interaction.
NGC4275
Not mentioned in NED - lots of material dispersed around this galaxy.
Just a foreground star, you'll see loads of those.
Would this count as a 'boxy' nucleus? Think it's the first I've marked as such. Dust lane seems not to match the plane of the disc.
Some galaxies seem to produce very little light. This one is not mentioned in NED - do we know anything about these?
Think I see a faint disc but not in alignment with the nucleus..?
weird - like a #starforming disc but with no nucleus. could be a planetary nebula?
Marked as elliptical as thought it might be one of those peas, but nothing on NED or DR8, so probably a #star.
Faint spiral form just visible. (black nucleus is just a camera error)
UGC00310 #starforming regions
ngc6239 lovely #starforming #disturbed #spiral
does look odd - maybe a red foreground star in front of elliptical galaxy. could the green be a partial satellite trail?
#edgeon
Blur caused by foreground star artifact.
I've marked as #merger but may be just overlap with a faint background spiral.
Spiral Galaxy UGC11842 (from NED catalog). Looks almost edge-on, but not quite.
Just an over-exposed foreground star.
Upper left is a faint bluish galaxy, possibly edge-on. Use Galaxy Zoo Examine and SDSS to see the bigger picture.
HII dwarf galaxy UM098 (it says here).
Star forming is greatest at the tip of the bars. Does this mean that this galaxy is seen at a significant point in its evolution?
x2 ellipticals overlapping? What's going on here?
Seems to have 'flares' left and right from the bright nucleus - doesn't look like a 'normal' barred spiral...
Hope it's not an optical artefact but appears to have the smallest disc compared to the largest nucleus I've ever seen.
think the orange area is a foreground star but there may be an #irregular galaxy behind it?
A #disturbed elliptical (possibly a close merger?) with distinct #tidaldebris but nothing on SDSS that might have caused the disturbance.
Fuzziness at top left is nebulosity from nearby disturbed spiral galaxy #merger
Just wondering about that faint diagonal 'line' below the central galaxy, not sure what it might be...
Slight 'smudge' to lower left of galaxy, doesn't seem to be interacting but maybe significant?
#edgeon FGC0240
#edgeon - or very nearly!
It looks like an elliptical galaxy (red) partially obscured by a foreground star.
the orange blob is just a foreground star. There is an odd greenish blip on the bar which might be significant. 2MASX J06265315+6540098
#starforming NGC3669
Those lights indicate an #asteroid caught in the image.
#starforming
#merger with #tidaldebris
Interesting image but I think something has gone wrong with the filters...?
I agree - #tidaldebris visible towards top right
It's an #elliptical galaxy with some flattening.
Seems to be a small satellite galaxy just above the main target?
What a beauty #FGC1261 #edgeon #dustlane
#overlap Image looks completely different (erroneous) when viewed in different wavelengths - is anyone else seeing this?
Looks #edgeon, but the #dustlane seems to be slightly off the edge.
#star
That's what #barred spiral arms do 😃 beautiful example, never seen a barred spiral with > 2arms before
Marked as cigar-shaped elliptical but could easily be described as #edgeon spiral I guess? No dust lane though...
Very #bright nucleus, looks #edgeon but no dust lane?
NED says its NGC7638 in Pegasus
Thinking this might be a #merger but maybe it's just a foreground star in front of the elliptical?
#foreground stars in our own galaxy
#starforming and possibly #disturbed. Can't see any sign of a merger though... ?
The most #diffuse object I have yet seen on gz. Is this an early stage of galaxy formation?
#disturbed, but can't see any evidence of a merger on dr8.
Elliptical galaxy encircled by a #ring ?
#merger #dustlane
Thanks. Noodling on DR8 shows more http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=84.10582976&dec=-6.78719098
Bit fuzzy, but odd 'flare' apparently emanating from this elliptical, anyone got any ideas?
Like an elliptical with one long arm twisted around it? #disturbed
Not a bright nucleus, but a large one, like an elliptical galaxy with spiral arms..?
#disturbed #barred spiral
Close-up of #merger between the central elliptical or maybe lenticular galaxy and another lenticular galaxy, #disturbed at right angles.
UGC06804 #dustlane seems to be visible around the nucleus rather than around the disc rim. Small #asteroid at lower left.
Nice #elliptical galaxy centre, but an exceptional #edgeon spiral with thick #dustlane at top.
three distinct regions in this galaxy - very dense bright nucleus, dense inner arms, diffuse outer arms, not seen one quite so tidy before.
#boxy nucleus. If you look real close (use invert) the disc or some other medium seems to extend to both edges of the frame.
I think, a #lenticular galaxy merging with an elliptical?
Strangest pattern of arms I've ever seen, as if they are radiating in XY & Z directions, not in the usual flat plain.
Not quite #edgeon but close enough for someone to double-check
If it is an #edgeon spiral, it is strangely compact.
Best viewed inverted, something odd has happened to this #elliptical, trails extending up, left and in between.
Can't really work this one out at all! Looks more like gas jets than a galaxy. Ideas?
#irregular #starformation
Just a Foreground star.
#arc
#elliptical #merger
Odd - one(?) armed galaxy. It's as if the nucleus follows a helical twist, rather than an axial rotation.
Just seems to be lacking in brightness to be a galaxy?
#clumpy #irregular
Yes, seems to be edge on but slightly twisted both ways. #disturbed #edgeon
Spectacular - I only had to wade through 1900 RRD objects before I arrived here #herbigharo
Ignore the blueforeground star, but Not sure about the green ring - is that just overexposed rubbish?
Very #irregular cloud, perhaps with some star formation going on. Thoughts?
Just curious that a satellite elliptical galaxy has been imaged rather than the spiral top left...
Don't think so, just very fine arms, lovely whirlpool spiral
Ignore the red and blue blobs - any ideas what the green fuzz could be? Have listed as 'irregular'.
The suggestion of a 'double nucleus' is, I think, caused by two foreground stars giving the galaxy a rather worried 'face'.
Definitely a tricky one - but you can classify as 'Features' with no bar or spiral arms visible, then under 'other odd features'!
Very nice. I would class these as Barred Spirals. While the bar isn't very wide the arms connect to an elongated nucleus.
Not really - the three blobs just happen to be well placed here, but they may not even be related to the central galaxy.
It might be but the image is fuzzy on a very distant object. Not much you can say for certain here.
Very over-exposed and fuzzy, a poor quality image (of which there are many!)
There may be an elliptical galaxy behind (brown area) but foreground stars are over-exposed/out of focus in front of it, hence false colors.
(n.b. View Large) Horribly pixelated because it's so distant, but looks like a jet extending from both sides of the nucleus. Thoughts?
Probably a star, too sharp to be in the galaxy. Seems to be an elliptical galaxy so star-forming seems unlikely.
Just one unusually long arm on this spiral, never seen this before.
Fascinating - maybe a very disturbed spiral, bizarre 'jet' extends to right, irregular dust... where's the nucleus?
Odd - looks like a spiral disturbed by interaction with 2 elliptical galaxies, maybe orbiting each other before merging, if that's possible?
Could be but to me they look more like rather wispy spiral arms.
It's an artificial satellite trail - see the tutorials.
Interesting, looks like a slightly unusual irregular galaxy. Possibly 2 merging, but no obvious nucleus so probably Not an edge-on spiral
the two brights centre/right. might be mergers at bottom but not near enough to be sure, and the others aren't really edge-on (see 'help').
Tricky one here - my eye was drawn to the irregular blob, but the object at the centre is probably just a nearby star - right?
