In a paper to appear in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, Forbes and Kroupa have offered five possible criteria for determining whether an object is a galaxy: the presence of dark matter, multiple generations of stars, satellite star clusters, a minimum size, and the time it takes for gravitational interactions between stars to slow them all down to roughly the same speed.

To make these discoveries, the team utilised the deepest images of gravitational lensing made so far in three galaxy clusters, which were taken as part of the Hubble Frontier Fields programme [4].

Gravitational lenses occur when very massive objects — such as clusters of galaxies — warp spacetime around them, causing light (and anything else) traveling nearby to take a curved path.

Gravitational lensing happens when huge collections of matter — such as those found in galaxy clusters — warp the space - time around them so that the light from objects behind the clusters takes a curved path.
