UGC 11105

UGC 11105 is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand UGC 11105 rather than just read about it. In short: UGC 11105, also known as PGC 61361, is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy located 109 million light-years (33.4 Mpc) away in the Hercules constellation. The galaxy is outshone by bright stars in the foreground.

Key takeaways

UGC 11105 belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect UGC 11105 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of UGC 11105 from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

UGC 11105, also known as PGC 61361, is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy located 109 million light-years (33.4 Mpc) away in the Hercules constellation. The galaxy is outshone by bright stars in the foreground. From the perspective on Earth, the Sun is 14 thousand trillion times brighter as compared to UGC 11105, if we to calculate the apparent magnitude for both objects. It is a possible active galactic nucleus candidate, according to SIMBAD.

Supernova One supernova has been observed in UGC 11105: SN 2019pjs (Type II, mag. 17.3) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) on 4 September 2019.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with UGC 11105

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what UGC 11105 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to UGC 11105 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about UGC 11105 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of UGC 11105

In research: UGC 11105 appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses UGC 11105 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: UGC 11105 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Hercules (constellation), MCG objects, Principal Galaxies Catalogue objects, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for UGC 11105 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
