Structure and Evolution of Galaxies
As much as we know about galaxies, the evolution of galaxies is one of the mysteries of the Universe. By looking far out into space and equivalently, far back into time, astronomers can look at the oldest galaxies and make comparisons with modern-day galaxies to get a sense of how they’re evolving. To really understand galaxy evolution, though, one must understand the details of the structure of galaxies; therein lies many wondrous secrets of galaxies. We will focus on spiral galaxies:
The Structure of Spiral Galaxies
Most spiral galaxies have similar features, the most significant of which include a dark matter halo, the galactic disc, spiral arms, a central bulge (most containing a bar-like structure), and a stellar halo.
The dark matter halo is believed to be the main structural component of the Milky Way galaxy whose functional purpose is primarily to hold together the galaxy; without it, the galaxy would not be gravitationally bound. The dark matter halo is situated well beyond the visible galactic disc which is detected using observations like rotation curves of galaxies. Current observations suggest that dark matter accounts for roughly 95% of the Milky Way’s mass, while the other 5% is accounted for with normal, baryonic matter. It is currently believed that dark matter played a significant role in the evolution of galaxies, initiating clumps of matter in the early Universe which eventually lead to structures like galaxies.
The galactic disc is the location of most of the interstellar medium (ISM, composed of gas and dust) and also contains a substantial amount of stars which orbit in roughly circular orbits confined to the galactic plane; it consists of most of the visible matter in the galaxy. The Sun is located about 8.5kpc (kiloparsecs) from the galactic center in the galactic disc. The spiral arms within the galactic disc are the main sites of star formation; the blue spiral arms are indicators of young, hot stars. Within the galactic disc is where most cosmic recycling occurs and as a result, the ISM has a higher metallicity than primordial gas. The metallicity-age relation is important for understanding galaxy evolution. Most open clusters are found in the galactic disc, but some globular clusters (roughly one third) are found here, as well. Open clusters are very young because they are loosely bound and are easily disrupted. Open clusters have high metallicities because they are formed from more recently formed ISM which has had time to become enriched with metals. In contrast, globular clusters are very old as they are strongly gravitationally bound. Since globular clusters consist of the oldest stars in the galaxy, the metallicity-age relation suggests that they should have very low metallicities but those found in the galactic disc have unusually high metallicities; this suggests that cosmic recycling enriches the contents of the globular clusters.
The stellar halo extends further than the galactic disc itself and is roughly spherical in shape. Here lie roughly two thirds of the galaxy’s globular clusters. The globular clusters found here, as expected, have very low metallicities because they are young and do not get contaminated by the cosmic recycling that takes place in the galactic disc. The stellar halo’s star formation has long since ceased; there is very little ISM left in the stellar halo. The stars within the stellar halo have largely elliptical and highly irregular orbital motions which are not confined to the galactic plane.
What Does Any of This Tell Us About Galaxy Evolution?
Without the dark matter halo, our galaxy wouldn’t be gravitationally bound the way it is today. With this, along with the fact that dark matter consists of 95% of the galaxy’s mass, it is suggested that dark matter played a key role in the initial formation of galaxies. The spiral arms of the galaxy suggest that the galaxy is rotating, which is well supported by observations. Older stars contained in the stellar halo having irregular, elliptical orbits and younger stars confined in the galactic disc having regular, circularized orbits suggests that the galaxy started out in a disordered state which over time settled down to a more orderly state; the galaxy originated as a large gas cloud that eventually collapsed and through the conservation of angular momentum, became a flat, rotating disc. The fact that globular clusters within the galactic disc have unusually high metallicities suggest that cosmic recycling is the origin; as time progresses, high mass stars explode and contaminate the surrounding ISM to further enrich future stars’ chemical composition. Furthermore, globular clusters which were once believed to originate from the Milky Way are now believed to having been captured by the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy, which suggests that even though the galactic halo is the oldest component of the galaxy, it is still a dynamic part of the Milky Way. Currently, the Milky Way is in a collision course with its neighbour, the Andromeda galaxy. In about 4 billion years, the two spiral galaxies will collide to form what astronomers like to call the Milkomeda galaxy.

When I cried over the fact that I was getting closer to them, which I didn’t want to become, something dropped inside without a sound; love (which I had not wanted to know.)
Because if I did not know the love, there would be no pain either.
