ESO 286-19 known as IRAS 20551-4250, is a galaxy merger located in the constellation of Microscopium. It is located 609 million light years away from Earth. [1] It is an ultraluminous infrared galaxy.

Characteristics

ESO 286-19 is a late-stager merger. [2] [3] A product of two colliding disk galaxies, it is found distorted, with a long tidal tail that is extending to the right from its main body while the shorter tidal tail is curving towards the left direction. [4] It has knotted structures. There is a distribution of cold molecular gas from the galaxy's southeast region. [5]

A single nucleus has been detected in ESO 286–19 by both XMM Newton and Chandra X-ray Observatory although undetected by NuSTAR. According to observations made by Chandra, the soft X-ray emission of the galaxy is elongated while having a point-like hard X-ray emission. [2] However, its polarized flux is faint. [6]

ESO 286-19 is also an extremely bright galaxy with a luminosity of LIR ~ 1012 LΘ. [7] It also experiences a starburst. [8] A spectroscopic and photometric analysis found the galaxy has an old stellar population mass of 3 x 1011 MΘ. It also has much young, recently formed stars of 8 x 109 MΘ contributing to ~ 2 of the stellar mass. The galaxy also has molecular hydrogen with a mass of 4 x 1010 MΘ. [9]

According to results from Cycle 2 observations conducted by Atacama Large Millimeter Array, ESO 286-19 harbors an obscured active galactic nucleus. The nucleus shows HCN/HCO+/HNC J = 3-2 emission lines that are found vibrationally excited with a high energy level of v 2 = 1. Due to a likely line opacity correction, the lines are found to have an excitation temperature and flux ratio amidst v 2 = 1f and v = 0. [10] Additionally, a broad emission line component was found from a CO J = 3-2 emission line with a measurement of full width at half maximum (FWHM) ~ 500 km s−1. This finding suggested it was caused by molecular outflow in the galaxy with a mass of Moutf ~ 5.8 x 106 MΘ and a kinetic power of Poutf ~ 1%. [7] Based on the outflow, it has an X-ray luminosity of L2-10keV = 2.1 x 1041 ergs −1. [11]

The mass of its central black hole is estimated to be approximately 20,000 solar masses. The source was discovered at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie, Toulouse, France and gained interest from the scientific community because of strong evidence supporting it as an intermediate-mass black hole. HLX-1 is possibly the remnant of a dwarf galaxy that may have been in a galactic collision with ESO 243-49.
