Summary[edit]
DescriptionM31, GS (nomenclature structures in the outer halo of the galaxy).jpg |
English: Andromeda [Ultra Deep 2019]
This image offers a good overview of the main structures on the disc and the external halo of Andromeda (M31). The disc appears quite regular and there is an abundant presence of young stars, gases and abundant dusts. The bulge is dominated by an older population. The external halo presents various irregularities and thickenings that we can consider as vestiges of dwarf galaxies incorporated progressively by the greater galaxy, as foreseen by the growth models. M31 is thought to have assimilated a few hundred small galaxies or globular clusters. This process is still ongoing. According to Ferguson et al. (2002), the names attributed to the various substructures, unknown to most, they are reported in the negative image with disc color inset.
