spiral galaxy n. A galaxy consisting of a rotating flattened disk with a central bulge made up mostly of old stars, from which extend two or more spiral arms made up mostly of younger stars and large amounts of interstellar gas and dust. ...
This image made by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300. Hubble's turn to smile, marks 25 years in orbit To end this article, an introduction to another galaxy: NGC 5792, a typical barred spiral galaxy slightly elongated in an east-west direction and...
Galaxy - Elliptical, Spiral, Irregular: Almost all current systems of galaxy classification are outgrowths of the initial scheme proposed by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble in 1926. In Hubble’s scheme, which is based on the optical appearance of ga

The luminous heart of the galaxy M61 dominates this image, framed by its winding spiral arms threaded with dark tendrils of dust. As well as the usual bright bands of stars, the spiral arms of M61 are studded with ruby-red patches of light. Tell-tale signs of recent star formation, thes...
a barred spiral galaxy at redshiftzphot ≈ 3, which was already mature when the Universe was only 2 Gyr old. The stellar mass (M★ = 3.9 × 109 M⊙) and barred morphology mean that ceers-2112 can be considered a progenitor of the Milky Way7,8,9, in terms of ...

In connection with a discussion of barred galaxies, the galaxies in the near-infrared passband NGC 1300 and NGC 2500 are considered along with the stellar nature of barred galaxy spiral arms, and differences regarding the spiral arm structures in flat and exponential barred galaxies....
