NGC 1497 Galaxy Group

This object is a galaxy group located 270 million light years away in the constellation of Taurus at a declination of +23 degrees. I have included an annotated image to assist in understanding the description below. All of these galaxies lie a similar distance away from us. I could find no detailed information about any of these galaxies.

NGC 1497 is the brightest galaxy at upper right. It spans 2 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to a large diameter of 150,000 light years. It appears to be a lenticular galaxy with extended star streams.

The galaxy at upper left is UGC 2927. Its structure is fascinating - a smaller spiral galaxy with a faint large star stream tail which extends for 360 degrees completely around.

Interestingly, the galaxy to the lower left, UGC 2928, is smaller but has also has an extended star stream structure which forms a ring around the galaxy. The galaxy in the lower left corner, MCG+04-10-004, is a blue irregular galaxy.

There appears to be a lot of depth to these galaxy star streams that I will try to bring out with more time in the coming seasons. This is the first image of these galaxies 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.
