Study investigates kinematics and origin of gas in the galaxy NGC 2655

Using the 6-meter telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) and the 2.5-meter telescope of the Caucasian Mountain Observatory (CMO), Russian astronomers have observed a giant galaxy known as NGC 2655. Results of the observational campaign, presented January 12 on the arXiv preprint server, shed more light on the kinematics and origin of ionized gas in this galaxy.
