NGC 3169 is a spiral galaxy about 75 million light years [3] away in the constellation Sextans. It has the morphological classification SA(s)a pec, [5] which indicates this is a pure, unbarred spiral galaxy with tightly-wound arms and peculiar features. [6] There is an asymmetrical spiral arm and an extended halo around the galaxy. [7]

NGC 3169 是一個位於 六分儀座 的 螺旋星系。 該星系的形狀受到鄰近星系 NGC 3166 的重力擾動而變形。 2003年在該星系內發現 超新星 SN 2003cg。

Wound up spiral arms are pulled out into sweeping tidal tails as NGC 3169 (left) and neighboring NGC 3166 interact gravitationally. Eventually the galaxies will merge into one, a common fate even for bright galaxies in the local universe .

ngc 3169是一个 螺旋星系 ，距离 六分仪座 约7500万光年。 它的形态分类是SA(S)a pec，这表明这是一个纯的 无棒螺旋星系 ，有紧密缠绕的臂和特殊的特征。

2024年11月26日 · The two galaxies NGC 3166 and NGC 3169 were discovered by William Herschel on 19 December 1783 using his 18.7 inch reflecting telescope. He classified them as «bright nebulae» and listed them as I 3 (NGC 3166) and I 3 (NGC 3169), both with the notes: «Considerably bright, pretty large, resembling comet, much brighter in the middle.»

2015年11月6日 · Its beautiful spiral arms are distorted into sweeping tidal tails as NGC 3169 (top) and neighboring NGC 3166 interact gravitationally, a common fate even for bright galaxies in the local universe. In fact, drawn out stellar arcs and plumes, indications of gravitational interactions, seem rampant in the deep and colorful galaxy group photo.

2003年6月11日 · NGC 3169, NGC 3166, and NGC 3165 (left to right in the Kopernik image above) form a peculiar and probably interacting group of spiral galaxies in the constellation of Sextans. They all have approximately the same red shift and radio observations show them to be inside a common envelope of neutral hydrogen.

Spiral galaxy NGC 3169 appears to be unraveling in this cosmic scene, played out some 70 million light-years away just below bright star Regulus toward the faint constellation Sextans. Its beautiful spiral arms are distorted into sweeping tidal tails as NGC 3169 (left) and neighboring NGC 3166 (right) exhibits distortion in its dust lanes as ...
