Hubble captures NGC 4698, a spiral galaxy with misaligned rotating core

Astronomers attribute misalignment to external gas inflow or past merger

2 Sep 18 12:40 PM · 5d ago · 1 article · 1 post · 2 sources · development 2 of 2

Analysis accompanying the image release attributes the unusual perpendicular rotation to either gas funneled in from an outside source or a prior minor galactic merger. Evidence for the merger scenario includes a short tail of hydrogen streaming from one side of NGC 4698.

“If NGC 4698 funneled in gas from an outside source, the newly collected gas could have formed a disc of gas and stars in the galaxy's centre, at an angle relative to the rest of the disc.”
