Galaxies And the Foundation of Modern Cosmology
What are three major types of �galaxies?

Hubble Ultra Deep Field Elliptical. Galaxy Irregular Galaxies Spiral Galaxy
halo disk bulge Spiral Galaxy
Disk Component: stars of all ages, many gas clouds Spheroidal Component: bulge & halo, old stars, few gas clouds Type Sa Galaxy
Sa Galaxies: • Dominant nuclear bulge • Tightly wound spiral pattern • Few (but some) newly formed stars, HII regions or other evidence of active star formation
Sb Galaxies • Moderate nuclear bulge • Intermediate spiral pattern • Some evidence for massive young stars, HII regions, star formation
Type Sc Galaxy Disk Component: stars of all ages, many gas clouds Spheroidal Component: bulge & halo, old stars, few gas clouds Blue-white color indicates ongoing star formation Red-yellow color indicates older star population
Sc Galaxies (Some classify Messier as as Type Sd) • Small to nearly non-existent nuclear bulge • Open spiral pattern • Active star-formation
Disk Component: stars of all ages, many gas clouds Spheroidal Component: bulge & halo, old stars, few gas clouds Blue-white color indicates ongoing star formation Red-yellow color indicates older star population
Barred Spiral Galaxy Has a bar of stars across the bulge
Barred Spiral Types SBa SBb SBc
S 0 Lenticular Galaxy Has a disk like a spiral galaxy but very little dust or gas (intermediate between spiral and elliptical)
S 0 Edge-on Note the clear presence of a disk, but absence of dust band in this S 0 galaxy: NGC 3115
Elliptical Galaxy: All spheroidal (bulge) component, no disk
Elliptical Galaxy: All spheroidal component, virtually no disk component Red-yellow color indicates older star population
Irregular Galaxies Irregular I Galaxy Blue-white color indicates ongoing star formation
Irr II Galaxy - Messier 82
Spheroid Dominates Hubble’s Galaxy Classes Disk Dominates
How are galaxies grouped together?
Spiral galaxies are often found in groups of galaxies (up to a few dozen galaxies)
Our Galaxy & Andromeda belong to a small “Local Group” of about 20 or so galaxies
Elliptical galaxies are much more common in huge clusters of galaxies (hundreds to thousands of galaxies)
How do we observe the life histories of galaxies?
Deep observations show us very distant galaxies as they were much earlier in time (Old light from young galaxies)
Denser regions contracted, forming protogalactic clouds H and He gases in these clouds formed the first stars
Supernova explosions from first stars kept much of the gas from forming stars Leftover gas settled into spinning disk Conservation of angular momentum
Why do galaxies differ? NGC 4414 M 87 But why do some galaxies end up looking so different?
Nature: Conditions in Protogalactic Cloud? Spin: Initial angular momentum of protogalactic cloud could determine size of resulting disk
Conditions in Protogalactic Cloud? Density: Elliptical galaxies could come from dense protogalactic clouds that were able to cool and form stars before gas settled into a disk
Distant Red Ellipticals • Observations of some distant red elliptical galaxies support the idea that most of their stars formed very early in the history of the universe
We must also consider the effects of collisions
Collisions were much more likely early in time, because galaxies were closer together
Many of the galaxies we see at great distances (and early times) indeed look violently disturbed
The collisions we observe nearby trigger bursts of star formation
Modeling such collisions on a computer shows that two spiral galaxies can merge to make an elliptical
Modeling such collisions on a computer shows that two spiral galaxies can merge to make an elliptical
Shells of stars observed around some elliptical galaxies are probably the remains of past collisions
Collisions may explain why elliptical galaxies tend to be found where galaxies are closer together
Giant elliptical galaxies at the centers of clusters seem to have consumed a number of smaller galaxies
