Messier 95

Messier 95 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Leo constellation. Messier 95 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

Messier 95 was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain on March 20, 1781, along with the nearby Messier 96. Méchain reported the discovery to Charles Messier, who added both galaxies to his catalogue on March 24, 1781. He described M95 as a “nebula without a star, in the Lion, above star l (53 Leonis),” adding that “its light is very faint.”

Here's the graphic of its energy spectrum made with Simbad:

I've analyzed the simbad dot plot. I have selected 6 points and I have converted µ from to armstrong. Then I applied the formula of the dossier.

SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES.

I have compared my results with a scientific article (https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2019/01/aa34500-18.pdf). In it he explains that the absence of CO and HI in the bar region of M 95 can be considered as a support to the scenario of gas redistribution. The scenario of gas heating due to the stabilization of the disc by bar-induced torques can prevent gas cooling, which in turn can inhibit star formation.
