PGC 29820 (known as JO204) is a spiral galaxy located 600 million light-years away from the Solar System in the Sextans constellation.[1] The galaxy is about 120,000 light-years in diameter and is a member of Abell 957, a low-mass galaxy cluster.[2] The first known reference to this galaxy is from volume I of the Catalogue of Galaxies and of Clusters of Galaxies compiled by Fritz Zwicky in 1961, where it was listed as CGCG 008-077.[3]
Characteristics
[edit]PGC 29820 is classified a massive galaxy with a stellar mass of M* = 4 x1010 M.[4] It contains an active galactic nucleus with double-peaked narrow lines.[5][6] Moreover, it is also a Seyfert 2 galaxy.[7]
PGC 29820 is classified a jellyfish galaxy.[8][9][10] According to Gullieuszik, the galaxy is currently in a first phrase of infalling into the cluster where it is subjected to ram pressure by the intracluster medium.[2]
Because dense gas is compressed, it eventually collapses to form new stars in both the galaxy's tail and its disk.[4] According to researchers, the stars inside the tail, has a star formation rate of 0.22 M○ yr1[11] which began during the last 500 million years.[2]
In additional, PGC 29820 shows a large presence of molecular gas making up H2 mass of 8.3 x 109 M○. Looking at ratio of total molecular hydrogen mass and stellar mass, it is estimated as 0.42.[12]
