ASTRO: Arp 100
I've been neglecting Arp galaxies of late. Not that I haven't been
taking them, just that I've been processing other objects of late. I have a pretty good backlog of Arp galaxies to work on. Just haven't been working on them. So for those who have been asking for them here's one for your consideration. Arp 100 is a pair of interacting galaxies, IC 18 and IC 19. Arp classified it under "spiral with elliptical galaxy companion". IC 18 is the interesting one. Probably an Sb galaxy before it had the misfortune of meeting up with IC 19. The passage drew out two tidal arms. IC 19 is a typical elliptical with sufficient mass and density that it was little distorted by the passage. It is the galaxy south and a bit east of IC 18. The pair are about 260 to 280 million light years from us. IC 18 without its tidal arms is only about 35 million light years across, a small spiral galaxy. With its tidal arms it is almost 220,000 light years across! Between the two but far more distant is APMUKS(BJ) B002603.91-115232.3. I can find no distance data on it. That is the case with almost all the other galaxies in this image. The only one I could find anything on was LEDA 1719. This is the bright elliptical nearly directly west (right) of IC 18 and just above a bright star. It shows a red shift light travel distance of 275 million light years. So may be related to the two galaxies known as Arp 100. If you look closely you'll see many of the "stars" in this image are fuzzy and thus really very distant galaxies, nearly all uncataloged. 14" LX200R @ f/10, L=4x10' RGB=2x10', STL-11000XM, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Let's correct that to read: IC 18 without its tidal arms is only about 35 THOUSAND light years across, a small spiral galaxy. With its tidal arms it is almost 220,000 light years across!

Great picture Rick. This is an interesting pair. Very good detail for such a
southern object. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ster.com... I've been neglecting Arp galaxies of late.
