UGC 6697 is a large irregular [1] spiral galaxy with a bar [2] located in the Leo constellation. [3] It is located 378 million light-years from the Solar System and has an estimated diameter of 205,000 light-years.

The galaxy UGC 6697, located about 1.5 million light years from the core of the galaxy cluster Abell 1367, is shown here in a composite X-ray (blue)- optical (red & green) image. The Chandra image reveals a sharp edge on the lower left that is inside the optical edge of the galaxy, and a long tail of X-radiation extending to the upper right ...

2017年7月19日 · We present the MUSE observations of UGC 6697, a giant (Mstar 10^ {10} Msol) spiral galaxy infalling in the nearby cluster Abell 1367.

We present the MUSE observations of UGC 6697, a giant (M∗ ≈ 1010M⊙) spiral galaxy infalling in the nearby cluster Abell 1367.

2017年7月19日 · We present the MUSE observations of UGC 6697, a giant (Mstar 10^{10} Msol) spiral galaxy infalling in the nearby cluster Abell 1367.

2005年3月10日 · We present the result from a Chandra observation of an X-ray-luminous starburst galaxy, UGC 6697, which is embedded in the northwest hot region of A1367 (5-6 keV). A very sharp X-ray edge (~13-fold surface brightness jump) at the southeast and a long tail (at least 60 kpc from the nucleus) at the northwest of the galaxy are detected, as ...

2004年11月23日 · We present the result from a CHANDRA observation of an X-ray luminous starburst galaxy UGC 6697, which is embedded in the northwest hot region of A1367 (5 - 6 keV).

2010年1月5日 · The Chandra X-ray image shows a part of the northwest region - about 0.56 million light years across - of the galaxy cluster Abell 1367. Diffuse X-ray emitting clouds from five galaxies (labeled) can be seen. These clouds are cool (5 - 10-million-degrees Celsius), embedded in 60 - 70-million-degrees Celsius intracluster medium (ICM) of Abell 1367.

We present the MUSE observations of UGC 6697, a giant (M ∗ ≈ 10 10 M ⊙) spiral galaxy infalling in the nearby cluster Abell 1367. During its high-velocity transit through the intracluster medium (ICM), the hydrodynamical interactions with the ICM produce a ≈ 100 kpc tail of ionized gas that we map with a mosaic of five MUSE pointings up ...
