Schiavi and his colleagues played out how the galactic collision will unfold. A computer simulation shows how the Milky Way (left) and Andromeda (right) galaxies will brush past each other about 4 ...
However, a new simulation suggests the chance of this ... astronomers first predicted back in 1912 that the galaxy is on a collision course with our own Milky Way, approaching at a speed of ...
Supercomputer simulations by ... in the outskirts of our own galaxy. In his dissertation, Purcell focused on the question: What effects have the repeated collisions with the Sagittarius Dwarf ...
Meet LEDA 42160, an unassuming name for what looks like a glowing ripple in the dark. Much like a cosmic bullseye, except ...
Simulation suggests galaxy gained spiral structure after crashing into a smaller companion. The Andromeda galaxy got its peculiar ring-like spiral arms in a collision with a dwarf galaxy around ...
The team made simulations of the many possible galaxy collision scenarios and then mapped them to Hubble images of galaxy interactions. Creating the computer models was a time-consuming process.
It was previously thought that collisions between galaxies would necessarily add ... However, researchers have performed the most accurate simulations of a range of collision scenarios and have ...
It's easy to model collisions between dwarf galaxies that create a situation ... A scan through a simulation of the evolution of the Universe found hundreds of head-on collisions with sufficient ...
Scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the the interstellar medium, in turn generating stunning images ...
A galactic collision 11 billion light-years away reveals how an actively feeding supermassive black hole disrupts star ...
A quasar in one galaxy blasted another during a cosmic collision, compressing star-forming gas into tiny clumps too small to ...
