Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Velocity dispersion

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Velocity dispersion

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, the velocity dispersion (σ) is the statistical dispersion of velocities about the mean velocity for a group of objects, such as an open cluster, globular cluster, galaxy, galaxy cluster, or supercluster.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Velocity dispersion

Andromeda Galaxy and Velocity dispersion have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Black hole, Elliptical galaxy, Galaxy, Globular cluster, Interstellar medium, Local Group, Messier object, Milky Way, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Spectral line, Spiral galaxy.

Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.

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.

Spiral galaxy

Spiral galaxies form a class of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae(pp. 124–151) and, as such, form part of the Hubble sequence.
