... December 13, 1997 . The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies . Each of these galaxies house billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. ... In fact, the Coma Cluster is so big it takes light millions of years just to go from one side to the other! Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals , while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals . ...

... Tidal influence on each of the galaxies in our sample is quantified by identifying and measuring the distance to the nearest companion, using a photometric technique with good completeness characteristics. ... Massnormalised starformation rates were derived using galaxy stellar masses estimated from zband luminosities Nearest companions were identified using the algorithm illustrated in Figure 1. ... Some of the lowredshift galaxies in our sample with close companions are illustrated in Figure 3. ...
