An article published in the journal “Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society” reports the discovery of a giant neutral hydrogen ring surrounding a “quenched galaxy” cataloged as AGC 203001. A team of astronomers from the National Center for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) in Pune, India, used the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) to observe that ring, much larger than the galaxy itself with a diameter of about 380,000 light years, four tiems the Milky Way’s. The collaboration of French astronomers allowed a further study with the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope (CFHT) in Hawaii, USA, which found no signs of stars associated with the ring, an oddity considering that such a structure seems perfect as a nursery for new stars.
