emission line galaxy comparison table

Subject has definition has synonym has acronym

Haro galaxy Blue object whose spectra show sharp emission lines.

Markarian galaxy A galaxy in Markarian's list of galaxies with abnormally strong ultraviolet continua. They have broad emission lines arising in a bright, semi-stellar nucleus. Markarian 231 is the most luminous galaxy known if it is at its Hubble distance.

narrow emission line galaxy NELG

narrow emission line X-ray galaxy NLXG

violent galaxy A type of galaxy differentiated only recently. Violent galaxies include QSOs and exploding galaxies like M82. About 1 percent of the galaxies are classified as violent. Violent galaxies release on the average 10⁵⁸ ergs of energy, compared with a supernova release of 10⁴⁹ ergs. Nearest violent galaxy is Cen A. exploding galaxy
