ASTRO: UGC 9242 a anorexic galaxy

2010 continues to be unproductive with respect to imaging, clouds,
moisture, etc. usual woes but we needed a good water year to help with
the years of below average rainfall we've recently experienced.

UGC 9242
Bootes
Penryn, California
April 2010
FS-128 (ag, St-4)
ST-2000XM LR(s)GB 10 minutes subs

UGC 9242 is classified as Sc D~ and listed as a super thin edge on
galaxy without a nuclear bulge component. Note the two lobes on
either end of the galaxy and the dark flattened nucleus.

This galaxy is reddened and extinguished somewhat by dust within our
galaxy (max -0.50 mag.).

Red shift distance is 66 Mly.

Karen Carpenter Galaxy?

need to come up with some more names - It is one of four super thin
galaxies that have been extensively studiedy.

I've got Twiggy.

Glen,

nice image, a good target for the second half of a spring night.

Not so sure they are low mass, just thin though they have little core
and thus likely a small (for a galaxy) black hole at the center.

The DVD galaxy?

Anyway a nice shot.
