Cas van Erp's paper on the extragalactic diffuse interstellar bands (xDIBs) in NGC 6240 has now appeared in @AandA_journal. The first real map of two of these very faint interstellar absorption features in a galaxy at such large distance. #xDIBs #DIBs #NGC6240 #musevlt

The first extragalactic maps of the faint diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in a galaxy at a distance of 100 Mpc (van Erp et al. 2503.17492). Great work written up by a student in Leiden. I could help a bit with the MUSE data. #xDIBs #DIBs #NGC6240 #musevlt

NGC 6240 is a peculiar elongated galaxy located about 400 million light years away in Ophiuchus. A cosmic mess of gas, dust and stars, its distorted appearance is the result of a galactic merger that occurred when two galaxies drifted too close to one another. 📷 ESA #NGC6240

🤩 Starfish Galaxy 💫 in the constellation #Ophiuchus ✨400 million ly away. #NGC6240 is a nearby galaxy that’s a result of a merger btw 3 smaller galaxies. The two galaxies are similar in size to the Milky Way & each contains a supermassive black hole at its center. #SpaceNerd🌌

#CoolSpaceFacts Almost every galaxy in the universe has a black hole at its core. However, Galaxy NGC 6240 is likely to have three supermassive black holes at its centre, each with a mass over 90 million times of the Sun. #NGC6240 #space #blackhole
