clumpy irregular galaxy  

Définition

  • An irregularly shaped, clumpy star-forming galaxy that does not fall anywhere on the Hubble sequence and appears frequently at redshifts z ~ 1-4. Galaxies at z ≤ 1 with similar morphologies and enhanced star formation have been identified, but become less common with decreasing redshift. Clumpy galaxies are prominent in the early Universe.
