Unveiling the Secrets of Spiral Galaxies with Unusual Azimuthal Asymmetry
Researchers at Vilnius University have conducted a comprehensive study on spiral galaxies exhibiting unusual azimuthal asymmetry in oxygen abundance. Through the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at the Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, the team identified five galaxies displaying distinct azimuthal asymmetry in oxygen abundance. The study's findings suggest that
