M106
M 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is a spiral galaxy visible in the constellation of Hunting Dogs; it appears to contain a supermassive black hole inside.
M106 is an example of a Seyfert galaxy; the detection of unusual radio wave and X-ray emissions observed through the Very Large Baseline Array radio telescope indicates that probably part of the galaxy is precipitating into a supermassive black hole located in its center: in fact it seems that a mass equal to 36 million is contained in the core of solar masses, concentrated in a volume between 1/24 and 1/12 of a light year, or between 12,000 to 54,000 AU.
The shape of M106 resembles that of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), but with a different inclination, so that all the structures of the dust clouds on the galactic plane are perfectly visible; the spiral arms are rich in H II regions which in the images are shown in blue and red color, depending on whether or not they are associated with clusters of particularly hot and bright stars. In 1981 a supernova appeared between its arms, classified as SN 1981K, which reached the sixteenth apparent magnitude; since the spectrum was not analyzed, it was never known what kind of supernova it was. The distance of the galaxy is estimated at 21-25 million light years and its total mass is approximately 190 billion solar masses; it moves away from us at the speed of 537 km / s.
