In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

GALACTIC SILHOUETTES This new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and its Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) shows the unique galaxy pair called NGC 3314. Through an extraordinary chance alignment, a face-on spiral galaxy lies precisely in front of another larger spiral. ... The bright blue stars forming a pinwheel shape near the center of the front galaxy have formed recently from interstellar gas and dust. ...

It is especially hard to explain this process of star birth in some spiral galaxies. ... Targets include both star clusters and galaxies, and star formation rates seen range from the starburst galaxy M82 (the Cigar Galaxy) which is creating about ten new stars in its core alone every year to the much less fecund star producer NGC 2841. ...

... Neutral hydrogen observations of the spiral galaxies NGC 6221 and NGC 6215 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) reveal a wide, two-stranded bridge of at least 3 x 10^8 Msun which can be traced between the two galaxies over a projected distance of 100 kpc. ... The color figure below shows the HI emission (blue) in the bridge velocity range overlaid onto an optical image. ... A tidal HI bridge is visible between NGC 6221 and its brightest neighbour, NGC 6215 (v_sys = 1555 km/s). ...
