As light from the quasar travels toward Earth, it passes by the galaxy and through the primordial gas, before reaching our telescopes.

Not exact matches

Infrared radiation passes through interstellar dust much more easily than visible light, so by looking at the infrared light from a galaxy we can learn about the new stars forming within the clouds of dust and gas.

Decades passed before astronomical technology verified that idea: It wasn't until 1979 that astronomers detected a real - life example of a gravitational lens in the double image of a quasar — side - by - side glimpses of a galaxy's blazing heart, resembling a pair of oncoming headlights.

If two neutron stars were to merge in a nearby galaxy, the resulting wave would squish and stretch the space - time near Earth by about a millionth of the diameter of an atom as it passed through us.

And by analyzing the light as it passes through clouds of gas and on its way to Earth, astronomers will glean the compositions of the earliest galaxies, Lamb adds.

They observed the galaxy using a special band - pass filter that selectively transmits the light around an emission line produced by ionized hydrogen (called the H - alpha emission line).

Other scenarios involve gravitational perturbations, either caused by passing stars, a solar system entering and exiting our galaxy's gravitationally dense spiral arms, or even via interactions with dense molecular clouds.

«Many of the stars in the bridge appear to have been removed from the SMC in the most recent interaction, some 200 million years ago, when the dwarf galaxies passed relatively close by each other.

These rare systems — only a few tens were known until recently — were thought to have had their outer coats of stars ripped away by the gravity of other, larger galaxies as they passed nearby, a theory supported by the fact that they were usually found in the centers of large clusters of galaxies.

Light is affected by gravity, and light passing a distant galaxy will be deflected as a result.

The galaxies were initially found by the absorption of background quasar light passing through the galaxies.

The scientists concluded that B3 1715 +425 is what has remained of a galaxy that passed through the larger galaxy and had most of its stars and gas stripped away by the encounter — a «nearly naked» supermassive black hole.

When two galaxies collide the stars will pass right on by each other without colliding.

This discovery of this system is part of a large survey for quasar sightlines which pass near galaxies, which is coordinated by Joseph Hennawi, the leader of theENIGMA research group at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.

In fact, the ring - like shape is the result of the gravitational disruption caused by a small intruder galaxy passing through a large one, compressing the interstellar gas and dust, and causing a wave of star formation wave to move out from the impact point like a ripple across the surface of a pond.
