Spiral galaxy NGC 3953 is a veritable star making machine, but why do some galaxies stop forming new stars? NASA-Sloan Atlas July 11, 2016 Why do some galaxies stop making new stars? Michael J. I. Brown, Monash University; Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Monash University, and Kevin Pimbblet, University of Hull Galaxies are supposed to be the place where new stars are formed. So what causes some to stop this stellar production line?
Can a galaxy (like NGC 3810 in this case) have a classical spiral structure and also be already dead? ESA/Hubble and NASA January 28, 2016 Is our Milky Way galaxy a zombie, already dead and we don’t know it? Kevin Schawinski, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich Extragalactic astrophysicists want to know how and why galaxies stop forming stars, change their shape and fade away. With help from citizen scientists, they're figuring it out.
