Types and Classification of Galaxies Spiral Galaxies. Spiral galaxy M100. Spiral galaxies have three main components: a bulge, disk, and halo (see right). The bulge is a spherical structure found in the center of the galaxy. This feature mostly contains older stars. The disk is made up of dust, gas, and younger stars. The disk forms arm structures.

Quasars: Brightest Objects in the Universe Quasars are part of a class of objects known as active galactic nuclei (AGN). Other classes include Seyfert galaxies and blazars. All three require supermassive black holes to power them.

Spiral Galaxies The arms of a spiral galaxy have lots of gas and dust, and they are often areas where new stars are constantly forming. The bulge of a spiral galaxy is composed primarily of old, red stars. Very little star formation goes on in the bulge. The table below shows the abbreviations that are used for spiral galaxy types.f you instead see the galaxy from the side, it is called an edge-on spiral.. You can recognize edge-on spiral galaxies because you can see their bright central bulges. Face-on and edge-on spiral galaxies aren't really any different; they only look different because of the angle from which you see them.

General Astronomy/Print version Structure and Composition. The galaxy we live in, called the Milky Way Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy composed of at least 100 billion stars. It is approximately 100,000 light years across and about 1000 light years thick. It has a central bulge that is about 10,000 light years in diameter.

ASTR 209 - Ch. 24: Galaxies Intermediate between elliptical and spiral galaxies. - show evidence of a thin disk and flattened bulge, but contain no gas and no spiral arms. Their visual appearance does not allow us to place them in other categories. Tend to be rich in interstellar matter and young blue stars, but they lack any structure.

- The second major property of a galaxy is its morphology. Averaged over all environments, spiral and irregular galaxies account for ~ 70% of all galaxies, the balance being elliptical and SO galaxies. In the typical environment (that of loose groups), elliptical and SO galaxies account for only 10-20% of the population.

Galaxy Galaxies range in size from dwarfs with just a few billion (109) stars to giants with one hundred trillion (1014) stars, each orbiting its galaxy's center of mass. Galaxies are categorized according to their visual morphology as elliptical, spiral and irregular.

Galaxies Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is typical: it has hundreds of billions of stars, enough gas and dust to make billions more stars, and at least ten times as much dark matter as all the stars and gas put together.

- Our Milky Way galaxy is an example of a spiral galaxy. Spiral galaxies are rich in gas and dust and have a high rate of star formation. Since spirals contain a high fraction of hot, young stars, they are often among the brightest galaxies in the universe.

University of California, San Diego Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences The Milky Way system is a spiral galaxy consisting of over 400 billion stars, plus gas and dust arranged into three general components as shown to the left: The halo-a roughly spherical distribution which contains the oldest stars in the Galaxy, The nuclear bulge and Galactic Center.

What type of galaxy is the Milky Way? Confidence votes 32.9K. Our Milky Way galaxy is a 'Barred Spiral', type SBc. Edwin Hubble classified these types of spiral galaxies as SB (Spiral, Barred) in his Hubble sequence, and arranged them into three sub-categories based on how open the arms of the spiral are. SBa types feature tightly bound arms.

Accretion disk Image taken by Hubble space telescope of what may be gas accreting onto a black hole in elliptical galaxy NGC 4261. An accretion disc is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.The central body is typically a star. Gravity causes material in the disc to spiral inward towards the central body.n accretion disc is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.

The Largest Galaxy In the Known Universe: IC 1101 This type of galaxy is the most commonly observed in the Universe, making up 60% to 75% of all galaxies ever found. Now we approach the largest galaxies – the Ellipticals. They range in shape from nearly spherical to nearly flat, and they can contain as many as a trillion stars.

Spiral galaxy Sc and SBc galaxies, for instance, have very loose arms, whereas Sa and SBa galaxies have tightly wrapped arms (with reference to the Hubble sequence). Either way, spiral arms contain many young, blue stars (due to the high mass density and the high rate of star formation), which make the arms so bright. Galactic bulge A bulge is a huge, tightly packed group of stars.

- Elliptical Galaxies. The most massive galaxies in the sky are the giant elliptical galaxies. They can also be very small; perhaps only 1% the size of the Milky Way galaxy. Stars in elliptical galaxies tend to have orbits that are randomly oriented within the galaxy; that is, there is no homogenous rotation like disk galaxies.

- Stars also die. Older stars are called red giants and supergiants, and are closer to dying. IV. Galaxy Classification. The term galaxy refers to a large collection of stars, dust, and gas clouds which are held together by gravitational attraction. Hubble, a well known astronomer classified galaxies into 3 major groups.

Galaxy NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 55,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 60 million light-years away from Earth. A galaxy is a gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias (γαλαξίας), literally milky, a reference to the Milky Way. Galaxies range in size from dwarfs with just a few billion (109) stars to giants with one hundred trillion (1014) stars, each orbiting its galaxy's center of mass.

Galaxy Despite the prominence of large elliptical and spiral galaxies, most galaxies in the Universe are dwarf galaxies. These galaxies are relatively small when compared with other galactic formations, being about one hundredth the size of the Milky Way, containing only a few billion stars.

- The stars and gas and dust clouds in the disk congregate in a spiral pattern. There are four parts to the spiral pattern in our Galaxy called spiral arms. There are many stars that are also in-between the spiral arms, but they tend to be the dimmer stars (G, K, M-type stars).

- A galaxy was a massive, gravitationally bound assemblage of stars, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an unknown type of dark matter. Typical galaxies contained ten million to one trillion (10 7 to 10 12) stars, all orbiting a common center of gravity.

barred spiral galaxy a spiral galaxy whose center has the form of an extended bar. barred spiral galaxy. A spiral galaxy with a barlike bulge in the center, extending between the core and the spiral arms. About a third of spiral galaxies have this straight bar of stars, gas, and dust extending out from the nucleus. As with other spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies rotate, and new stars form from the dust and gas in their arms. Astronomers believe that some elliptical galaxies containing hints of a bar and spiral might once have been barred spiral galaxies.
