Alignment of Galaxies with Large Scale Structure
Event Start:
2022-03-07T15:00:00
Event End:
2022-03-07T16:00:00
Event Information:
The internal structure of galaxies is strongly affected by the gravitational influence of surrounding matter, on scales up to several megaparsecs. For example, galaxies are tidally torqued by surrounding galaxies and clusters. Conversely, a single massive elliptical galaxy can have a significant gravitational influence on surrounding satellite galaxies.
