The energy output of these nuclei can sometimes outshine their host galaxies.</p> <p>The active galaxy family also includes the exotically named quasars and blazars.</p> <p>Although each type has distinctive characteristics, they are thought to be all driven by the same engine — supermassive black holes — but are viewed from different angles.</p> <p>“NGC 1672 is a multi-talented light show, showing off an impressive array of different celestial lights,” the Hubble astronomers said in a statement.</p> <p>“Like any spiral galaxy, its disk is filled with billions of shining stars that give it a beautiful glow.”</p> <p>“Along its two large arms, bubbles of hydrogen gas are made to shine a striking red light by the powerful radiation of newly-forming stars within.”</p> <p>“Near to the center lie some particularly spectacular stars: newly-formed and extremely hot, they are embedded in a ring of hot gas and are emitting powerful X-rays,” they added.</p> <p>“And in the very center sits an even more brilliant source of X-rays, an active galactic nucleus created by the heated accretion disk around NGC 1672’s supermassive black hole; this makes NGC 1672 a Seyfert galaxy.”</p> <p>“But a highlight of the new picture is the most fleeting and temporary of these lights: supernova <a href="https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2017gax" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SN 2017gax</a>, visible in just one of the six Hubble images that make up this composite image.”</p> <p>“This was a <a href="https://www.astronomy.com/science/type-ia-supernovae-inside-the-universes-biggest-blasts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Type I supernova</a> caused by the core-collapse and subsequent explosion of a giant star, going from invisibility to a new light in the sky in just a matter of days.”</p> <p>“In that image from later that year, the supernova is already fading, and so is only just visible here as a small green dot, just below the crook of the spiral arm on the right side.”</p> <p>“In fact this was on purpose, as we wanted to look for any companion star that the supernova progenitor may have had — something impossible to spot beside a live supernova.”</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="single-left"> <div class="postedby"> Published in </div> <div class="single-category"><ul class="post-categories"> <li><a href="https://www.sci.news/news/astronomy" >Astronomy</a></li></ul></div> <div class="postedby2"> <div class="postedby"> Tagged as </div></div> <div class="single-tags"> <a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/barred-spiral-galaxy" rel="tag">Barred spiral galaxy</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/esa" rel="tag">ESA</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/galaxy" rel="tag">Galaxy</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/hubble" rel="tag">Hubble</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/nasa" rel="tag">NASA</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/ngc-1672" rel="tag">NGC 1672</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/seyfert-galaxy" rel="tag">Seyfert galaxy</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/sn-2017gax" rel="tag">SN 2017gax</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/spiral-galaxy" rel="tag">Spiral galaxy</a><a href="https://www.sci.news/tag/supernova" rel="tag">Supernova</a></div> <div class="postedby3"></div> <div class="postedby3"></div> <div class="single-related"> <div class="postedby">You Might Like </div> <div class="related"> <div class="relatedpost"> <a href="https://www.sci.news/astronomy/ultrahot-neptune-toi-3261b-13466.html"><img width="104" height="75" src="https://cdn.sci.news/images/2024/11/image_13466-TOI-3261b-104x75.jpg" class="attachment-secondpostimg size-secondpostimg wp-post-image" alt="An artist’s concept of the ultrahot-Neptune exoplanet TOI-3261b.
