Galaxy Zoo Starburst Talk
I'd like to emphasize this ! Always classify the object in the center of the image ! ( a bit late! I know )
Probably a distorted spiral arm.

In the zoomed out pic (see next post) you can see some more blue dots. Looks like a satellite trail
I don't see a lens in this image.
That is an optical artifact caused by a brightstar just outside of this image
The blue blobs are star forming areas in this edge on galaxy !
A lovely #irregular galaxy !
The two objects at 7 (and 8 ) are probably foreground stars from our galaxy
Lots of noise in the background !
I'm thinking more of a distorted spiral !
Not a cloud but a galaxy. Judging by the very bright center, AGN is definitely a possibility.
Gorgeous #merger
The object to the left is a foreground star. So, no merger here.
The purple object is indeed a star. The color is not real.
Nope, this is definitely a galaxy.
LOL
I'd go for barred and very disturbed spiral ! And therein lies the beauty of the Zoo ! 😄
The smaller dot to the top right is probably a foreground star from our galaxy and has no connection to the central galaxy.
I'd go for an edge on with a dustlane !
possible #polarring or else an #overlap
???
Erm, what ?
The central galaxy is definitely disturbed, but the bright one to the bottom right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright object to the bottom left is a foreground star from our galaxy. No interaction here, sorry.
I wouldn't have gone for cigar. More of an edge on for me.
Definitely an asteroid at 12 ! 😄
Some of them are noise or artifacts. The bigger to the bottom right of the galaxy could be a foreground star.
Chance alignment !
Always classify the object in the center of the image
See next post for the zoomed out pic. The red glow is an optical artifact causeed by the star.

The bright blue object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy. But the central galaxy is indeed disturbed
The central galaxy is probably a fuzzy spiral and they are usually not massive enough to do any lensing. No lensing here, sorry.
Looks disturbed.
The blue object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy
No explosion here. It's a fuzzy galaxy.
Not an elliptical. I'd go for disturbed spiral.
The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
My classification would be : very fuzzy, two-armed maybe barred spiral. 😄
The red dot is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy. Btw, SDSS sometimes does get it wrong !
Those two tone colors are optical artifacts.
Looks as if there is an arc over the galaxy. Any ideas?
merger for me too
The bright object lower left is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy.The colors,spikes & blue cloud are all optical artifacts
Foreground star overlapping the galaxy.
Correct. lways classify the object in the center of the image
First of all : always classify the object in the center of the image.
And the bright red one is a foreground star.
That red thing is a foreground star from our galaxy. So no connection whatsoever with the very disturbed galaxy in the background
how can you tell ?
the blue line is a satellite trail. The bright bluish/white object to the right is a foreground star.
Way too fuzzy to tell !
The bright object at the top is indeed a foreground star !
Gorgeous disturbed spiral with loads of foreground stars
The red dot at 6 is most probably a foreground star
The two red spots are definitely foreground stars from our galaxy.
The central object is a very messy and disturbed spiral. The white object at 2 is a foreground star from our galaxy
Could be either, but what is the red cloud ? Never seen this before.
The blue/white thing is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors are optical artifacts
The blueish white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Definitely not an elliptical galaxy. I'd go for a fuzzy spiral.
Nope, tis is part of a gorgeous galaxy, NGC 3198
http://tinyurl.com/NGC-3198
The bright yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts
filter problem,see next post
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR9/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=214.22136412&dec=19.21229942&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Don't overthink the classifications. Sometimes it is just a galaxy possibly merging with another galaxy
What a gorgeous galaxy !
If SIMBAD says so ! 😄
😄
I'd go for overlap too !
Where do you see jets ?
Don't think so. A bit too messy
Since we are asked to classify these images visually : no distortion = no merger for me.
Only the central object is a galaxy. The other ones are all stars from our galaxy.
The orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy. No 'bridge' possible ! 😄
Always classify the object in the center of the image ! 😄
impossible to tell just from this image
This is a fuzzy galaxy with some star forming regions (the blue clumps)
disturbed spiral
The central object is a galaxy. Probably a fuzzy spiral.
Almost all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
Chance alignment
You have some imagination ! 😄 But it does look really funny !
It looks a bit weird. Not sure !
The green/red/blue object is indeed an asteroid. Because it moves it gets caught by the different filters at different times.
Here's the complete pic : http://tinyurl.com/AGS00000IZ
This is a spiral galaxy and they are usually not massive enough to d this kind of lensing. The top galaxy is an edge on.
AGN according to SIMBAD. I4234
Just one galaxy here for me. The orange dot is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no merger here !
Why do you think there is a super massive black hole in this image ?
The photoz of the litle one is very close to that of the central galaxy. But no obvious distortion. i'd go for no merger.
The yellow and the blue objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. So, definitely not associated with the galaxy.
or possible #polarring ?
definitely a stallite trail
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image !
Here it is : http://tinyurl.com/AGS000005M
The red object is indeed a foreground star
😄 That is a star from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are optical artifacts
That is indeed a foreground star. The colors and the white spot are optical artifacts
The white object bottom right is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger possible.
Misalignment of filters
The object, top right is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts.
A fuzzy galaxy. The red dot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
possible #voorwerpje ?
That spike looks like an artifact. The red dot is probably a foreground star.
Looking at the distortion it is safe to say it is a merger.

It is an edge on, but it's not easy to detremine from this image. See next post for the zoomed out pic.
definitely a merger. no lens, sorry.
could be a polar ring ?
Possible merger for me
It's definitely a merger. Possibly two spirals
The bright object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Oh yes ! 😄
The fluffy irregular surroundings are disturbed spiral arms. 😄
What is your question ? 😄
The green spikes are artifacts. The red dot could also be an artifact or possible a foreground star
But it is a galaxy ! I'd go for irregular or very seriously disturbed
First of : always classify the object in the center of the image. The blue one is an irregular with lots of starforming going on.
Always classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! 😄 )
Could be a foreground star.
It's an optical artifact
The glow and the spike in the bottom left corner are optical artifacts caused by a bright star just outside of this image
Disturbed spiral for me
