Astronomers have conducted a dynamical study of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas layer in the nearby, star-forming, edge-on disk galaxy NGC 5775. The research, published September 25 on arXiv.org, provides crucial information about the properties of this layer, which could help astronomers better understand star-forming processes in galaxies.
