Here is the Sextet once again, now with indigo and magenta colors indicating x-ray emission. My favorite thing about this is that the second brightest x-ray source is a tiny background galaxy with an active nucleus.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Here is the Sextet once again, now with indigo and magenta colors indicating x-ray emission. My favorite thing about this is that the second brightest x-ray source is a tiny background galaxy with an active nucleus. The first brightest source is in the blue galaxy near the bottom. Most of them have some kind of x-ray emission. The one at the upper right seems left out, though.

Chandra data are from Observation ID 11261

Violet/Magenta overlay: Chandra ACIS-S .2-7 keV Red: WFPC2 F814W Green: WFPC2 F555W Blue: WFPC2 F439W+F336W

North is NOT up. It is 10.15° counter-clockwise from up.
