Population I (High metal content) stars are generally found in the arms of spiral galaxies, whereas population II (Medium metal content) are generally found towards the centre of the galaxies.

Can stars exist outside a galaxy?

Yes, stars can exist outside of a galaxy. These stars are typically referred to as intergalactic stars, and they may have been ejected from their original galaxy due to interactions with other stars or galactic dynamics. Intergalactic stars are typically found in the space between galaxies.


What stars are in the central bulge?

The central bulge of our Milky Way galaxy contains older stars, mostly red and yellow in color. These stars are typically found in globular clusters and form a dense, spherical region at the core of the galaxy.


What is a cluster of tightly packed of older stars called?

A cluster of tightly packed older stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters can contain thousands to millions of stars, and are usually found in the outer regions of galaxies.


What is a tight group of older stars located in the halo of spiral galaxies is?

That is a globular cluster. These clusters are spherical collections of stars that orbit around the center of a galaxy in its halo. They are typically made up of thousands to millions of stars that are much older than the stars found in the disk of the galaxy.


What is the difference between disk stars and halo stars?

Stars in the disk all orbit in the same direction and nearly the same plane, while halo stars have more randomly oriented orbits.Clusters of young stars are found only in the disk.Disk stars come in a broad range of masses and colors, while halo stars are mostly of low mass and red.Gas and dust are abundant in the disk but not in the halo.

How are population 1 stars and population 2 stars different?

Population 1 stars are luminous. They include the Sun and are hot and young stars. These types are usually found in spiral galaxies. Population 2 stars are found in nucleuses of galaxies and globular galaxies. These stars are older and usually cooler than the population 1 ones.

In what part of the Milky Way would you expect to find most of the population 2 stars?

Most Population II stars are found in the halo of the Milky Way galaxy, particularly in globular clusters and the surrounding stellar halo. These stars are typically older, metal-poor, and represent an early stage of star formation in the galaxy. While they can also be found in the bulge, the halo is their primary region, as it contains the remnants of ancient stellar populations formed before the galaxy's disc structure developed.


What galaxy has the youngest stars?

Most new, young, stars can be found in the arms of spiral galaxies


Where can the largest stars be found?

Large stars are distributed all over our galaxy, there is no single location for them.


Why are stars in your galaxy?

A galaxy is by a definition a group of stars. If there were no stars it could not be a galaxy.


At what galaxy are stars?

Every galaxy contains stars, if that's what you mean. "Galaxy" means "big bunch of stars". No stars ===> no galaxy.

Hydrogen and helium.


Which galaxy has no blue stars?

Elliptical Galaxy The Elliptical Galaxy has mostly old stars and blue stars are new stars.
