The super-thin galaxy IC 5249 |
by Phil Yock (UoA) |
The spiral galaxy IC 5249 is one of several
super-thin galaxies seen edge-on. The left image shows our ATCA HI map of
IC 5249 overlaid onto an optical image
(Abe et al.
1999), while the right image shows a collage of four edge-on
galaxies,
from top to bottom: IC 5249, NGC 4565, NGC 5866, and ESO510-G013.
