IC2165

WHAT IS A GALAXY?

A galaxy is grouping of stars, celestial bodies and cosmic matter that is concentrated in a certain region of space by the effect of gravitational attraction and constitutes a unit in the universe.

HOW IS GALAXY FORMED?

According to the first galaxies were formed by the collapse of vast clouds of gas and dust due to their own force of gravity, allowing stars to form. 

IC2165

IC2165

This is its energy spectrum from JS9 with its most importants energy peaks.

Then, I have calculated each peak's percentatge and find out which elements they contain.

-This is the formula that i use to calculate the % of each peak:

.

-PEAK 1: 3158 mm2/ 94491 mm2 · 100 = 3,34 %  (H) Hydrogen

-PEAK 2: 3624 mm2/ 94491 mm2 · 100 = 3,83 %  (O) Oxygen

-PEAK 3: 12730 mm2 / 94491 mm2 · 100 = 13, 47 %  (Cl) Clor

-PEAK 4: 5775 mm2 / 94491 mm2 · 100 = 6,11 %  (Co) Copper

TOTAL AREA: 94491 mm2

(H) Hydrogen: 3,34%

(O) Oxygen: 3,83%

(Cl) Clor: 13,47%

(Co) Copper: 6,11%

With the help of this website I was able to find out what element each peak corresponds to:

HIDROGEN

.

OXYGEN

.

CLOR

.

COPPER

.

I have assumed that these peaks are the elements that I have indicated, but it may be that they aren't these and that it is incorrect because, in this case, the electrons jump from layer 3 to layer 2 and this means that the temperature has to be similar environmental, and therefore is low. But if we increase the layers, the electron volts go up, and for this reason it may be that my analysis is incorrect.

I compare my spectrum and results with others professional astronomers:

- Some astronomers agree that the IC2165 is made, principally, of oxygen, and chlorine but not of hydrogen or copper.

The webs where I found this information have been the following:

Comparison:
  • My results with those of other scientists agree that this galaxy is made of chlorine and oxygen.
  • In addition, I have found that this galaxy is also formed by hydrogen and copper. I have tried searching more scientific articles on google schoolar to see if it, actually, contains these elements, but I have not found any more elements that constitute this galaxy.
