What kind of galaxy has arms of gas and dust?

Elliptical galaxies.


Do elliptical galaxies are egg-shaped galaxies without spiral arms of interstellar gas and dust?

yes


Are elliptical galaxies egg-shaped galaxies without spiral arms of interstellar gas and dust?

No. Elliptical galaxies are some of the oldest galaxies.They are also called early galaxies. The elliptical galaxies are made of low massed stars, a sparse interstellar medium and very low star forming characteristics.


What are galaxies that have very bright centers and very little dust or gas called?

Galaxies with very bright centers and very little dust or gas are called elliptical galaxies. These galaxies are primarily made up of old stars and have a smooth, ellipsoidal shape with little ongoing star formation.


What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?

While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born


Galaxies that have a bright center that contains very little dust and gas?

Stars come in a variety of types. Blue stars, which are very hot, tend to have shorter lifetimes than red stars, which are cooler. Regions of galaxies where stars are currently forming are therefore bluer than regions where there has been no recent star formation. Spiral galaxies seem to have a lot of gas and dust, while elliptical galaxies have very little gas or dust.


Are nebulas in elliptical galaxies?

Because of their age, elliptical galaxies are believed to have older stars and less gas and dust in their insterstellar medium than other types of galaxies, and thus their nebulae are less common. However, nebulae are presumed to exist in almost all galaxies; and some recent observations hint that the central black holes of elliptical galaxies may tend to preserve interstellar gas by preventing it from cooling enough for star formation.


How are the spiral and elliptical galaxies the same?

Both contain large numbers of stars, plus dust, gas, and magnetic fields.


What types of galaxies tend to be made up of very old stars and contain very little gas and dust matter?

elliptical


What type of galaxy includes little gas and dust and no longer produces stars?

the galaxy that contains no blue stars is I DO NOT KNOW and i would like to know the answer too


Describe all the categories of galaxies?

the three main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical and irregular spiral contains spiral arms contained gas, dust and they help new stars form


What determines the shape of a galaxy?

That is related to their past history. Many galaxies have undergone collisions with other galaxies; this takes out most of the interstellar gas, and the galaxies can no longer form new stars. If I remember correctly, such galaxies will change into elliptical galaxies.That is related to their past history.
