Ring galaxies often have nearby companions. What does that suggest?
The origin of ring galaxies is often debated. Some scientists believe that ring galaxies have formed when a smaller galaxy passes through a larger one, leading to a gravitational disruption and the formation of a ring galaxy (the larger one).
Another theory suggests that ring galaxies are formed via natural accretion of dust , just like the planets in our solar system formed from a protoplantery disc.
The presence of nearby companions could serve as evidence for the first theory of formation, if their direction, velocity and age can be determined, along with the age of the ring galaxies that they accompany.
The cluster of galaxies creates a gravitational lens for a background galaxy, forming an Einstein ring. The spectrum of this galaxy has a redshift of 0.183. i.What is the distance of the background galaxy? ii.Calculate the approximate diameter in arcminutes of the Einstein ring produced by this gravitational lens. iii.In the analysis above, distances have been determined from the Hubble Law. How are the distances used in the equation for the calculation in part (b)(ii) normally defined? What other assumption...

What is the evidence that a large proportion of the mass of the universe is in the form of dark matter? fast In 1933 astronomers noticed that galaxies at the edge of the Coma cluster of galaxies were moving much too the cluster to remain in the cluster, given the amount of mass that was observable in slow not observable observable 10 90 50 This led to the suggestion that some "dark" matter that was the 1970s many observations have...

This question is referring to a glucose ring structure How does ring closure affect structural variability? That is, can the ring form of glucose have as many different structural shapes as the chain form of glucose? Is this 6-member glucose ring actually flat (planar)? Why/why not? Where is the carbonyl group in the glucose ring? Can you convert the ring to the chain without breaking bonds? How many carboxyl groups are in this molecule? How many dissociable groups? Could you...
