NGC 4522 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 60 million light-years away within the Virgo Cluster [3] in the constellation Virgo. [4] NGC 4522 is losing its molecular gas though ram-pressure stripping as it plows though the cluster at a speed of …

2009年9月30日 · NGC 4522 is a spectacular example of a spiral galaxy that is currently being stripped of its gas content. The galaxy is part of the Virgo galaxy cluster and its rapid motion within the cluster results in strong winds across the galaxy as the gas within is left behind.

Imagine a cosmic butterfly dancing through a gossamer cloud, both an object of beauty and intrigue, captured in the vastness of space. Meet NGC 4522, a spiral galaxy that’s both a spectacle and a scientific marvel, residing in the heart of the Virgo Cluster, roughly 60 million light-years away from our cozy spot in the Milky Way.

NGC 4522 is a spectacular example of a spiral galaxy that is currently being stripped of its gas content. Part of the Virgo galaxy cluster, its rapid motion within the cluster results in strong winds across the galaxy as the gas within is left behind. Scientists estimate that the galaxy is moving at more than 10 million kilometres per hour.

2007年12月19日 · The Virgo Cluster galaxy NGC 4522 is one of the best spiral candidates for intracluster medium–interstellar medium (ICM-ISM) stripping in action. Optical broadband and Hα images from the WIYN telescope of the highly inclined galaxy reveal a relatively undisturbed stellar disk and a peculiar distribution of Hα emission.
