NGC 2207 and IC 2163: A Grazing Encounter This image captures two spiral galaxies in the early stages of interaction. The gravitational forces between them have triggered intense star formation, ...
A high N(CH+)/N(CH) ratio (≳2.3) for the M51 material toward NGC 5195 may be the result of enhanced turbulence due to interactions between M51 and its companion. References We thank Dan Welty for ...
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two of the galaxies in the galactic triplet Arp 248 also known as Wild's Triplet, are visible in the constellation Virgo.
According to the Swinburne University of Technology, an interacting galaxy is in the process of being affected by another galaxy. Two interacting galaxies are often called “colliding galaxies ...
Day 20 of the 2024 Space Telescope Advent Calendar: a galactic chain. This Hubble image features an interacting galaxy system known as Arp-Madore 2105-332, that lies about 200 million light-years ...
We are particularly interested in the role that galaxy environment plays, from the small scale of galaxy mergers and interactions to the large scale galaxy clusters, filaments, and voids. We use ...
The interacting galaxy pair IC 1623 are in the final stages of merging. The interacting galaxy pair IC 1623, which lies around 275 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus, star in this ...
“It’s highly likely that the circumgalactic mediums of our own Milky Way and Andromeda are already overlapping and interacting,” said Nielsen. The amount of gas around a galaxy determines ...
