* 2014: CIBER results indicate that galaxies
may not have a set boundary, but scattered stars instead stretch out to great distances.

Motion, Rotation and Other Features > s.a. galaxy distribution
[rotation alignment]; interstellar medium; magnetism.
* Motion, in general: For
neighboring galaxies the relative motion is mostly dictated by their gravitational
attraction, and the effects of dark matter and dark energy; Taking into account
the latter, one finds that global expansion starts setting in about 5 Mly from
us, as observed.
* Rotation: A first relationship
between galaxy brightness and rotation rate was the Tully-Fischer relation (1977);
Recent studies (2016) have shown that the rotation rate of spiral galaxies is specified
by the visible matter they contain, even if they are mostly composed of dark matter,
which implies that the distribution of conventional matter in the disk specifies the
density profile of the surrounding dark matter halo;
