Galaxy located in the constellation Aquarius
PGC 1228197 known asWINGS J211347.41+022834.9 andJO206 , is a largespiral galaxy located 700 millionlight-years away towards the constellation ofAquarius .[ 1] [ 2] The galaxy is estimated to be at least 160,000 light-years in diameter, making it somewhat bigger than theMilky Way . With a radialvelocity of 15,226kilometers per second, it is slowly drifting away.[ 3]
PGC 1228197 is a member of a poorgalaxy cluster called II ZW 108. It has astellar mass of 8.5 × 1010 M○ .[ 4]
PGC 1228197 is classified as ajellyfish galaxy .[ 5] [ 6] It has a lengthy tail that is ≥90 kpc wide, with ionizedgas stripped from the galaxy.[ 7] The galaxy is surrounded by its own magnetizedintracluster medium drape.[ 8]
Such process is caused when it interacts with other galaxies causing it to run intointracluster medium . The galaxy then undergoes a process ofram-pressure where its gas is stripped, forming long galactic tendrils ofstars .[ 5] [ 9] [ 10] Because matter is accreted into itssupermassive black hole , itsactive galactic nucleus is trigged.[ 11]
