NGC 5619

NGC 5619, the largest galaxy in the frame, is a spiral galaxy located 350 million light years away in the constellation of Virgo at a declination of +5 degrees. It is a magnitude 13 galaxy which spans 2 arc-minutes in our apparent view. This corresponds to a huge diameter of 200,000 light years.

This galaxy is inclined 25 degrees to edge-on in our apparent view. The highlight of the image is its disk structure. The galaxy has both an inner pseudoring and an outer pseudoring – features that appear to be rings but which are not closed upon close inspection. The inner ring has some interesting blue star clouds. The core is surrounded by a small oval lens and a bar which connects the inner ring. I find it fascinating that this bar is not a constant width - it is much wider at lower left than at upper right.

The other 3 galaxies in the image are not interacting with each other but are all in the distance of 300 to 400 million light years away. UGC 9258 is the most interesting of these 3 – a barred ring galaxy almost upstaged by the 3 blue, red and orange stars just to its upper left.

This is the 2nd image of these objects on Astrobin.

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.
