Triangulum galaxy viewed by Planck
2016
We used Planck data to study the M 33 galaxy and find a substantial temperature asymmetry with respect to its minor axis projected onto the sky plane. This temperature asymmetry correlates well with the HI velocity field at 21 cm, at least within a galactocentric distance of 0.5°, and it is found to extend up to about 3° from the galaxy center. We conclude that the revealed effect, that is, the temperature asymmetry and its extension, implies that we detected the differential rotation of the M 33 galaxy and of its extended baryonic halo.
