The Sombrero galaxy (Messier 104) is a galaxy some thirty million light years away, which is component of the Local Supercluster (a team of galaxies which consists of the Virgo collection and also the Local Group consisting of the Milky Way).”Our objective for getting these really deep photos of the Sombrero galaxy (Messier 104) was to look for the remains of its merging with a really huge galaxy. Our modelling of the intense celebrities around the Sombrero galaxy, and also at the exact same time of the halo light of the galaxy itself has actually allowed us to introduce the nature of this tidal stream.
According to the newest cosmological versions, big spiral galaxies such as the Milky Way expanded by soaking up smaller sized galaxies, by a type of stellar cannibalism. A research led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), with the engagement of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has actually made thorough monitorings of a huge tidal circulation around the Sombrero galaxy, whose unusual morphology has actually still not been definitively clarified.

Our modelling of the brilliant celebrities around the Sombrero galaxy, as well as at the very same time of the halo light of the galaxy itself has actually allowed us to introduce the nature of this tidal stream.
