In the focus: Spirals eat dwarfs: Galactic tendrils shed light on evolution of spiral galaxies

Spiral galaxies grow by swallowing smaller dwarf galaxies. As they are digested, these dwarf galaxies are severely distorted, forming structures such as surreal tendrils and stellar streams that surround their captors. Now, for the first time, a new survey has detected such tell-tale structures in galaxies more distant than our immediate galactic neighbourhood. This opens up new ways of testing our current views of galaxy evolution.

It's a “galaxy-eats-galaxy” universe out there: According to current models of galaxy evolution, galaxies grow by ingesting other star systems. In particular, spiral galaxies such as our own Milky Way galaxy grow by swallowing smaller dwarf galaxies.

Around the Milky Way galaxy and in the vicinity of our immediate cosmic neighborhood, ...
