Spiral classification is based on three criteria: (1) the ratio of luminosity in the central bulge to that in the disk, (2) the winding of the spiral arms, and (3) the contrast or degree of resolution of the arms into stars and H II regions.

Elliptical galaxies have a bulge shape and a halo, but do not have a. Lastly, irregular galaxies contain subtypes irregular I and irregular II. Elliptical contains subtypes from E0 to E7. These include Hubble Space Telescope images of over 10,000-star clusters, spectroscopic mapping of around 20,000 clusters, observations of star-forming emission nebulas from the Very Large Telescope ( VLT) and imaging of 12,000 dark and dense molecular clouds identified by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ( ALMA).Ĭombined, these observations give astronomers a picture across a wide spread of the electromagnetic spectrum, potentially exposing in detail the characteristics of star formation. Both normal and barred spiral galaxies range in form from early type, designated Sa, through type Sb, to late type Sc. When you look at this band, you are looking into the densest parts of the. Spiral contains barred spiral, and lenticular-spiral. Thus far, JWST has collected images of 19 relatively nearby star-birthing galaxies, which astronomers should be able to combine with a wealth of observations from other space-based telescopes and ground-based observatories to better understand star formation. Featured here in a new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, NGC 613 is a lovely example of a barred spiral galaxy. First discovered in 1798 by German-English astronomer William Herschel, NGC 613 is a galaxy which lies in the southern constellation of Sculptor 67 million light-years away.
