Unbarred spiral galaxy

Short description: Type of spiral galaxy without a central bar

The Whirlpool Galaxy and its companion satellite. The Whirlpool is an unbarred spiral galaxy

An unbarred spiral galaxy[1][2] is a type of spiral galaxy without a central bar, or one that is not a barred spiral galaxy. It is designated with an SA in the galaxy morphological classification scheme.

Barless spiral galaxies are one of three general types of spiral galaxies under the de Vaucouleurs system classification system, the other two being intermediate spiral galaxy and barred spiral galaxy. Under the Hubble tuning fork, it is one of two general types of spiral galaxy, the other being barred spirals.

## Grades

Under the de Vaucouleurs classification system, SA-galaxies are one of three types of spiral galaxy

## Unbarred lenticular galaxy

An unbarred lenticular galaxy is a lenticular version of an unbarred spiral galaxy. They have the Hubble type of SA0.
