Arp 334

This Astrobin Debut Object, also known as UGC 8498, is a large spiral galaxy located 350 million light years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici at a declination of +32 degrees. By my estimation, we are viewing this galaxy about 15 degrees from edge-on. In his Arp catalog, Dr. Arp classified this object into his final catch-all category of Miscellaneous.

The bright region of this magnitude 14 object spans 1.2 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to a Milky Way size diameter of 125,000 light years. Including the star streams increases that width to over 300,000 light years.

2 of the 3 bright stellar areas immediately left of UGC 8498 appear to be stars, but the orange one looks to be a small elliptical galaxy. This small galaxy has the designation of 2MASX J13302568+3136174 and could be the culprit which is causing the extensive star stream deformation.

The numerous small orange objects on the right side of the image are galaxies from the large Abell 1752 galaxy cluster.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
