This image shows the sky around the ultra diffuse galaxies NGC 1052-DF4 and NGC 1052-DF2. It was created from images forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. NGC 1052-DF2 is basically invisible in this image. In 2018 an international team of researchers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and several other observatories uncovered, for ...

Nov 27, 2020 · A year later, another galaxy that misses dark matter was discovered, NGC 1052-DF4, which further triggered intense debates among astronomers about the nature of these objects. Now, new Hubble data have been used to explain the reason behind the missing dark matter in NGC 1052-DF4, which resides 45 million light-years away.
Mar 28, 2018 · In Dragonfly images, NGC 1052-DF2 looked like a standard ultra-diffuse galaxy. But when the team compared them to a better image from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, they found a surprising mismatch.

The galaxy was identified with the Dragonfly Telephoto Array (DFA) and also observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). As well as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the Gemini Observatoryand the Keck Observatory were used to study the object in more detail. Since 1884 astronomers have invoked dark matter to explain why galaxies do not fly a...
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA. The results were published in a paper entitled “A galaxy lacking dark matter” in the journal Nature. The international team of astronomers in this study consists of P. van Dokkum (Yale University, USA), S. Danieli (Yale University, USA), Y. Cohen (Yale Univer...
