NGC 5102 (1319-3622) -- The archival UV image of this nuclear-starburst S0 galaxy (e.g., Bica & Alloin 1987) is a 1137 s F220W exposure with the 512 × 512 pixel f/96 FOC format, which gives a field of view of 10" × 10" A bright, unresolved central point source is evidenced by the saturated central pixels and the sharp diffraction rings, surrounded by a high surface-brightness elliptical light distribution with major axis oriented north-east to south-west. A linear structure, probably an edge-on disk, can be traced out to about 1" from the nucleus on both sides along the same direction. |
