PHANGS-ALMA Survey: NGC4254

Composite image of NGC 4254, an M type galaxy with a spiral showing at least 8 arms in white, red, an orange.

Shown here as an ALMA (orange) composite with Hubble Space Telescope (red) data, NGC4254 was among the nearly 100 galaxies included in the recent PHANGS project census of galaxies in the nearby Universe. The survey found that stellar nurseries within these galaxies vary widely in appearance and behavior, and that these characteristics heavily depend on where the stellar nurseries are located. NGC4254 is an example of a galaxy featuring M type morphology.
