SABc, or the SABc classification, refers to a system used in astronomy to categorize galaxies. It is part of the broader Hubble sequence, which classifies galaxies based on their shape and structure. SABc galaxies are intermediate between spiral galaxies and barred spiral galaxies, featuring a central bar structure and spiral arms that are less tightly wound. These galaxies typically exhibit a mix of characteristics from both spiral and barred spiral types. They often contain young stars, gas, and dust, making them sites of active star formation. The classification helps astronomers understand the evolution and dynamics of different galaxy types in the universe.
