Linked from

The 20 pages that link to Virgo Cluster, each with the reason it gives.

• Galaxy clusterBroader topic: It is a nearby example of a cluster still accreting galaxies and groups.

• Ram-pressure strippingRelated: Its galaxies include nearby examples of gas removal in a cluster environment.

• Lenticular galaxyRelated: Its dense environment provides many examples for studying lenticular galaxies and environmental transformation.

• Coma ClusterCompared with: Virgo is much nearer and less centrally concentrated than Coma, offering a contrasting cluster environment.

• Galaxy harassmentBroader topic: Its dense core contains galaxies exposed to strong tides and frequent high-speed passages.

• Laniakea SuperclusterBroader topic: The Local Group and Virgo Cluster occupy the nearby part of Laniakea's flow network.

• Virgo SuperclusterBroader topic: It is the supercluster’s central concentration and gives the structure its name.

• Cosmic flowBroader topic: Its gravitational pull contributes to the measured motion of the Local Group.

• Gravitationally bound systemBroader topic: It illustrates binding on scales larger than individual galaxies.

• Intracluster lightBroader topic: Its proximity permits detailed studies of stars and planetary nebulae between galaxies.

• Messier 87Narrower topic: M87 is the cluster’s dominant galaxy and lies near its center.

• Fornax ClusterCompared with: Virgo is larger and more dynamically complex than the Fornax Cluster.

• Local VoidRelated: It marks a dense neighboring region whose gravity shapes local galaxy motions.

• Sombrero GalaxyNarrower topic: The Sombrero Galaxy lies in the direction of Virgo and is often discussed in relation to this cluster.

• Perseus ClusterCompared with: Virgo is a closer, less massive comparison for cluster gas and galaxy evolution.

• Planetary nebula luminosity functionBroader topic: Its galaxies have served as targets for planetary-nebula distance measurements.

• Dwarf elliptical galaxyRelated: Its dwarf population allows environmental trends in dwarf elliptical properties to be studied.

• Intergalactic starBroader topic: Its planetary nebulae and diffuse light reveal stars between member galaxies.

• Local SheetRelated: Its gravitational influence helps shape motions around the Local Sheet.

• Messier 49Narrower topic: This cluster is Messier 49’s large-scale home and shapes its environment.
