How does the intracluster medium help determine the nature of the galaxies in a cluster? It will eventually run out of gas and dust for star formation. Astronomers know that starburst galaxies are often involved in mergers that mingle stars and gas. All of these choices are correct. Shock waves push the gas, which sets off the starburst activity. what is a starburst galaxy? small % of galaxies forming stars at extremely high rates (100x or more than the milky way) Y must starburst galaxies be a temporary phase in the evolution of the galaxy? The collision of two spiral galaxies will likely result in a single giant spiral galaxy. All of these choices are correct. What is the likely future of a starburst galaxy? What is the likely future of a starburst galaxy? It will eventually run out of gas and dust for star formation. Chapters 18-22. by tazig3r11, May 2008. It will eventually run out of gas and dust for star formation. It will eventually run out of gas and dust for star formation. Most starburst galaxies are in the midst of a galaxy merger or at least close encounter with another galaxy. False . ... How is a starburst galaxy likely to be formed ? So, the starburst nature of a galaxy is a short phase in a galaxy's evolution, just tens of millions of years. Nearly all types of galaxies can undergo starburst events if conditions are right. How does the intracluster medium help determine the nature of the galaxies in a cluster? Galactic mergers. How does the intracluster medium help determine the nature of the galaxies in a cluster? The rate of star formation is so large that the galaxy will quickly use all of its gas reservoir (from which the stars are made).

What is the likely future of a starburst galaxy? What is the likely future of a starburst galaxy? It will eventually run out if gas and dust for star formation. Subjects: 18-22 astronomy m phd shih-wen young ... Why do we believe that starburst galaxies represent a temporary stage in galaxy evolution? How does the intracluster medium help determine the nature of the galaxies in a cluster? Starburst galaxies are galaxies where high rates of star formation has occurred very quickly. Why can't an open universe have a center?
