A spiral galaxy with a small, compact, bright nucleus that exhibits variable light intensity and radio-wave emission.
A Seyfert galaxy is a spiral galaxy with an active core.
Yes. A Seyfert galaxy is a type of spiral galaxy, but with an active nucleus.
The distance between Earth and the Seyfert galaxy can vary depending on which specific galaxy you are referring to. On average, Seyfert galaxies are located around 40 million light-years away from Earth.
Seyfert Galaxy
Most of the energy from a Seyfert Galaxy comes from invisible raio and infrared radiation.
3C 153 is a Seyfert galaxy located in the constellation Auriga.
Tim Seyfert's birth name is Timothy Dean Seyfert.
* M15 - a globular cluster near the nose of Pegasus. * NGC 7742 - a Type 2 Seyfert galaxy.
Tim Seyfert is 6' 4".
When an accretion disk is viewed from the side in a Seyfert galaxy, it can cause broad emission lines in the spectrum due to the Doppler effect. The varying velocities of gas in the disk lead to redshifted and blueshifted emissions, resulting in a characteristic broadening of spectral lines. Additionally, the disk's temperature can contribute to a continuum emission that is often observed in the ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. This combination of features helps to identify the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in Seyfert galaxies.
Our Milky Way has a supermassive black hole at its nucleus. It is an active radio source. It is probably not a Seyfert galaxy, which is a galaxy of a type characterized by a bright compact core that shows strong infrared emission, though.
