Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Metallicity

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Metallicity

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. In astronomy, metallicity is used to describe the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen or helium.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Metallicity

Andromeda Galaxy and Metallicity have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Color index, H II region, Hydrogen, Interstellar medium, Magnitude (astronomy), Spectral line, Spectroscopy, Stellar classification, Supernova, Universe, Walter Baade.

Color index

In astronomy, the color index is a simple numerical expression that determines the color of an object, which in the case of a star gives its temperature.

Interstellar medium

In astronomy, the interstellar medium (ISM) is the matter and radiation that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

Magnitude (astronomy)

In astronomy, magnitude is a logarithmic measure of the brightness of an object in a defined passband, often in the visible or infrared spectrum, but sometimes across all wavelengths.

Spectral line

A spectral line is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies.

Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.

Stellar classification

In astronomy, stellar classification is the classification of stars based on their spectral characteristics.

Supernova

A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas, abbreviations: SN and SNe) is a transient astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a star's life, either a massive star or a white dwarf, whose destruction is marked by one final, titanic explosion.

Walter Baade

Wilhelm Heinrich Walter Baade (March 24, 1893 – June 25, 1960) was a German astronomer who worked in the United States from 1931 to 1959.
