S-SHAPED CORES IN GALAXIES

The saga of first finding an s-shape core in M51 is here.
Step by step walk through s-shapes in 'Lookhere'.
What real busy s-shape (Ngc 6951) can look like.

NGC 2997

What
a handsome
s-shape in the core of
Ngc 2997. It comes from this image





There
are very
small globular
clusters in the core
whorl itself, very unusual,
coherent hot dots within a core
whorl are not uncommong in
galaxies but not easily
seen

   

The pale
dark yellow dots
seen behind matter are
what happens when light is
filtered through galactic haze,
for instance through the
outer hem of an
elliptical
galaxy

It is
obvious from
the above core zoom
that image patching errors
spoil the view for instance the
core's tongue of flame on the right
hand side is a square edge of pixel
patching error causing a false
thought that a different
arm is shooting out
of the tongue
on fire

M100

An
s-shape
core can hardly
be better illustrated
than with these views of M100
by Hubble. The first is of course the
famous inner (nuclear) care made by Hubble
as one of Hubble's first new images verifying
that the original myopic lens problem had been
solved. Note in the next image a profound
s-shaped arm up the center almost
over the hot center core
kernals

Notice
the aprupt
punch-out at the
lower foot of the core, a
round cavity cape with a prong
jutting out. Prongs jutting from one
end of a black hole core are not uncommon,
once you have seen one (here) you will
see others. The 'prong' seems to
have something to do with
black hole polarity
dynamics



Astonishing
because of the
amount of information
stored in the original Hubble
image but not revealed to the public. The
'astonishing' view is enhancement in different color tones

INTRUDER TRACKS (OBJECT HAS CROSSED FROM RIGHT LEAVING WAKE)

Light
casting
shadows amplify
in this view such that an
obvious arrow vector aims straight
across limbs out the lower right of the frame
the vector caused by an intruder either coming
or going the arrow cannot tell you which
but boy or girl is the other end
of the arrow ever imbedded
under the core, what is
that telling you,
I can't guess





Image
rotation
also casts sharp
light contrast on deep 'V'
shape incise now seen in lower
right arm such that concentration
on the image suggests the large
gob now to the core left has
veered in through the 'V'
and moved in an arc
behind the core
to emerge at
the left



In fact,
tongs show the
gob is gravitationally
dragging tendrils behind it, if
it is currently moving up and out in this view.
It means likely the gob is the residuals of
a small galaxy (relative to the size
of M100) which has passed right
through the core area



Longer
range view
suggests otherwise.
The gob, much larger, may
have moved up the picture leaving
straight line vectors in its wake then swung
around the top of the core amplifying the
magnitude of the substantial s-shape.
Straight lines in horizontal
strips are a mystery I
have no explanation
or guess for them,
except, they
may be
striations
from collisions
in this case on the
open surface of the galaxy's
clockface rather than incised into a galaxy's
side and underbelly. The gob itself does however
associate with another form called a 'jet' featured here







Notice
a very tiny
tympani in the
highlighted window, and
another prominent small burst-out
lower left, this one quite chaotic perhaps recent

WRITER'S COMMENT

I am
well aware
that some of these
enhanced and/or magnified
images may seem silly to many.
Their relevance is in what each
is revealing, even if in a silly
setting. I maintain hope
that the originals
still exist and
can be dug
from
the
vaults
to be re-rendered
by professional image engineers
to offer the REAL goodstuff, even better, a joy
stick wired straight to Hubble to get the best stuff of all in detail

For
instance
the intruder
mentioned above
that left its telltale
trail into the flanks
of cloudbank in the
uppers, has shot
right
through
the galaxy
on a South-West
vector under the throne,
the intruder scooting into the
galaxy maestrom in the upper left to
come out lower down at past mid picture,
you can 'see' the 'perfectly' straight line
in galaxy material not image scratch
or passing asteroid. Since one
intruder clearly carries
on into the upper
core, there
may be
2, a
single split
in parts upon entering
M100's nether regions. This
information simply cannot be known by
viewing the official release image of M100.
It looks like the horizontal intruder may have
meandered, perhaps slow travelling. For certain
the lower (second) seems to have travelled
faster than a speeding bullet since
there is no deviation in its
needle thin trail
whatsoever







This
larger scale
core view from Subaru is
likeable even though mottled it
better shows the s-shape core
in scale with the rest of
the inner portion of
M100



Although
we did not get
to see a great number
of 's-shapes' in this page, 's-shapes'
are a very big subject in Galaxies in Chaos, since
S-shapes' are everywhere. Other pages which cite or
example 's-shapes' are in the following table

S-SHAPE SUBSET - A LESS THAN PERFECT IMAGE SHOWS MORE THAN PERFECT STUFF WE WANT TO REALLY KNOW

NGC 6951

A perfect
candidate as a
tell all for s-shapes
both inner and outer in galaxies is
this, Ngc 6951 which unexpectedly turned
up after all the rest of this page had
been written and put to bed. The
sleeping giant is still good,
to re-awaken unchanged,
but now it has a new
bed, this s-shape
wrap around
galaxy









Wide swaths
in s-shape sweep
from the tiny core, the
broad swaths similar to Ngc 2997





Everywhere
I looked on the
Internet I saw astronomer's
emails to each other discussing charts
and analysis in abstracts and word forms, a couple
of forbidden pro sites I could not enter without
a password, but no other image of Ngc 6951
to be found, a weary sensation moved
in lasting a few seconds. Then,
back to this dusty rag to
give it my best bang,
which follows. You
cannot help but
notice that
a huge
bulge
underneath
is source of a leftward
major arm, the bulge itself at the
forend of a long haul valley which goes straight
up the left side of the core, speaking of which, a high arcing
bombshell arm over the core tells of an identical momentum
property in Ngc 1232. Now for the best stuff - off
the right core end an arm spills out in
rivelets the arm immediately
curling down near the
core to it seems
fade at the
huge bulge.
Some design
god has been playing
knuckle ball when putting this
galaxy together. It is in fact very much
in fact is topologically the same as M100
except in this case (Ngc 6951) the arms
are thinner, longer, and more
spread out
