"Spanish Astronomer Unveils Active Galaxy Breakthrough"

Spanish astronomer Elio Quiroga Rodriguez has discovered a peculiar object in the Sombrero Galaxy, identified as a galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN). By analyzing Hubble Space Telescope images, Rodriguez found that the object, previously classified as a globular cluster candidate, may be a barred spiral galaxy with an AGN at its center. The newfound galaxy, cataloged as PSO J190.0326-11.6132, has a radial velocity suggesting it could be a satellite of the Sombrero Galaxy. Further observations are needed to determine the type of AGN present in the galaxy.
