Orientation of spiral galaxies as a test of theories of galaxy formation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 February 2017
Extract
The cosmological turbulence theory and the theory of adiabatic fluctuations predict different orientations of galaxies in clusters and superclusters. the first theory favours the alignment of the planes of galaxies with the supergalactic plane, whereas the planes of spiral galaxies formed according to the second theory are perpendicular to the plane of a supergalaxy.
