The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, is about five times more massive than the smaller galaxy. [6] It has a disc that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813.

Feb 27, 2017 · The larger galaxy in the UGC 1810 - UGC 1813 pair has a mass that is about five times that of the smaller galaxy. In unequal pairs such as this, the relatively rapid passage of a companion galaxy produces the lopsided or asymmetric structure in the main spiral.

Dec 20, 2011 · The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, has a disk that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. A swath of blue jewels across the top is the combined light from clusters of intensely bright and hot young blue stars.

UGC 1813 shows signs of intense star formation, possibly triggered by this interaction. The bright stars littered across this image are inside our own galaxy, and plenty more galaxies are littered about.

Jul 25, 2023 · The larger of the spiral galaxies, known to astronomers as UGC 1810, has a disk that is tidally distorted into a blossom-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy UGC 1813 (the Rose’s “stem”) below it.

Jan 7, 2025 · The name comes from the fact that they were catalogued at position 273 in the "Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies" compiled by Halton Arp in 1966: the two galaxies are catalogued also as UGC 1810 (the bigger one) and UGC 1813 (the smaller one).

UGC 1810, the “upper” galaxy, contains about five times more mass than its neighbor, UGC 1813, the “lower” galaxy. UGC 1813 is thought to have passed through, if not simply near, its neighbor, and through this interaction the two have tidally distorted into a rose-like shape.

Dec 15, 2024 · The smaller companion galaxy known as UGC 1813. The smaller galaxy shows distinct signs of active star formation at its nucleus. It is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one.

UGC 1813 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Andromeda in the northern hemisphere. UGC 1813's distance from Earth is 433,787,982.33 light years. UGC 1813 is not a Messier Object and doesn't have a Messier Number. The galaxy is separate and distinct, not in Milky Way galaxy or The Solar System.

Apr 20, 2011 · The newly released Hubble image shows a large spiral galaxy, known as UGC 1810, with a disk that is distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813.
