New Rare Dwarf Galaxies Discovered By Hubble Space Telescope

December 24, 2014 By Cliff Jenkins Scott

Hubble-Space-Telescope

Cosmologists working with the Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys have spotted a new dwarf galaxy. Russian scientists found an previously obscure dwarf galaxy (named Kks3) around 7 million light-years away on the way to southern Hydrus constellation.

This revelation is strange as Kks3 is really well inside the comparatively well-mapped “Local Group” of 50 known galaxies where the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are found. Actually, discovering the new galaxy has led cosmologists to start speculating about how many other close-by dwarf galaxies have gone undiscovered.

More on dwarf galaxies

With only one ten-thousandth of the mass of our galaxy, the “dwarf spheroidal” galaxy does not have the peculiarities viewers commonly expect, for example, spiral arms.

Dwarf galaxies are irregular as they don’t have the gas and dust needed to make new stars. That implies most dwarf galaxies are antique, and watching them is something like an celestial archeological burrow. By the same token, as they are so old, the stars of dwarf galaxies are faint, making it hard to identify them.

Dwarf are typically found in orbit with bigger galaxies, and cosmologists accept their star-forming gasses were stolen by bigger neighboring galaxies. Though,  Kks3 is not particularly near to another galaxy; it is totally secluded and is one of only two known isolated dsph galaxies. The other secluded dsph galaxy in the Local Group was found in 1999 and is named KKR & Co. L.p. (Nyse:kkr) 25.

Analysts accept that secluded dsph galaxies were shaped uniquely in contrast to bigger, orbiting galaxies. Secluded dsphs were not affected by the gravitic forces of their neighbors, so they likely held onto the majority of their star-forming gasses, however then expended almost the majority of the material in an early blast of star development. Given the absence of interstellar gas, cosmologists need to examine intergalactic space deliberately so not to miss the dim stars of dsph galaxies.

“Discovering items like Kks3 is thorough work, even with observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope. However, with diligence, we’re gradually developing a guide of our nearby neighborhood, which ends up being less vacant than we suspected,” remarked Dimitry Makarov, of the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Karachai-Cherkessia, Russia.

“There is a possibility that there are countless dwarf spheroidal galaxies out there, something that would have reflective results for our thoughts regarding the advancement of the universe,” he added.

About Cliff Jenkins Scott

Cliff likes to describe himself as made for the hard road. Freelancing is taking off across the world. And yet, valuable opportunities are hard to find he thinks, particularly when it comes to writing. After graduating with an MA degree in Communication as a major and Technology and Writing as minors, Cliff decided to give his own website hosting creative writing a boost and engage in an overwhelming number of projects, all of them focused on writing. He didn’t look for a quick burnout, but his eagerness to learn as much as possible as rapidly as possible kept him going.
