A Few More Galaxies Caught by Spitzer

I found a few more gems in the Spitzer archives.

Using the same procedure as I did for my previous images, I, once again used IRAC Map images, with images filtered at the 3.6μm, 4.5μm, 5.8μm and 8.0μm wavelength bands.

I used the same artificial colouring as my previous images, which were then merged.

NGC 2903

  • Barred spiral in Leo
  • Apparent magnitude: 9.7
  • Apparent size: 12.6’ x 6.0’

NGC 2903 - Spitzer

NGC 6221

  • Barred spiral galaxy in Ara
  • Apparent magnitude: 9.28
  • Apparent size: 3.5’ x 2.5’

NGC 6221 - Spitzer

NGC 3628

  • Spiral galaxy in Leo, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy
  • Apparent magnitude: 10.2
  • Apparent size: 15’ x 3.6’

NGC 3115

  • Lenticular galaxy with ring structure in Sextans
  • Apparent magnitude: 9.9
