Q:How long will it take for the M31 galaxy to merge with the M110 and M32 dwarf galaxies? How long will it take for a black hole in M32 to merge with the black hole in M31?A:
http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2005/smg/animations.html Note that this computer simulation is of 2 spiral galaxies each with a supermassive black hole in the center. We simply do not know enough about how galaxies form and evolve and interact to answer your question precisely. For more information on M110: http://astronomy.nju.edu.cn/astron/Messier/m110.html M32: http://astronomy.nju.edu.cn/astron/Messier/m032.html and M31: http://astronomy.nju.edu.cn/astron/Messier/m031.html |
