Linked from

The 14 pages that link to Coma Cluster, each with the reason it gives.

• Dark matterBroader topic: Fritz Zwicky’s analysis of its galaxy speeds supplied an early mass discrepancy.

• Galaxy clusterBroader topic: Its galaxy motions provided classic evidence for substantial unseen mass.

• Dark matter haloBroader topic: Early measurements of its galaxy motions provided evidence for unseen mass.

• Ram-pressure strippingRelated: Its dense environment allows strong pressure-driven gas removal.

• Fritz ZwickyBroader topic: Its galaxy velocities supplied Zwicky’s evidence for far more mass than visible matter explained.

• Galaxy harassmentBroader topic: Its dense population provides a setting where cumulative galaxy encounters can be significant.

• Galaxy filamentBroader topic: The cluster is a dense node within the surrounding network of large-scale structure.

• Intracluster lightBroader topic: Its diffuse stellar component has been studied as a prominent example of intracluster light.

• Fornax ClusterCompared with: Coma shows how Fornax differs from a much richer, more massive cluster.

• Perseus ClusterCompared with: Coma provides a contrasting nearby benchmark for cluster structure and galaxy populations.

• Dwarf elliptical galaxyRelated: The cluster population was central to the early identification of dwarf elliptical galaxies.

• cD galaxyRelated: Its central galaxies illustrate that a cluster need not have one unambiguous cD center.

• Galaxy rotation problemBroader topic: It illustrates that missing-mass evidence predates spiral-galaxy rotation curves.

• Intergalactic starBroader topic: Deep observations of Coma show diffuse stellar light throughout the cluster.
