M101 AWASH IN A SEA OF INTENSLY COHERENT GRAVITY WAVES

SPIRAL GALAXY M101

Sloan telescope's m101 shows huge superstructure with more dim media arms not previously seen in standard M101 images, plus a much thicker arm flanking the left. The surrounding deep space media is rippled in undulations.

M101 FROM ANOTHER TELESCOPE

Sprintling in the next image is because too many tiny data points cannot properly merge in 3d, causing spurious noise, otherwise, the 3d is correct for the larger scale database in the image.





The galaxy is being bombarded by intruders some large enough to make tracks (parallel lines of disruption) which alter the shape and appearance of the galaxy.









A rattle results when something travelling fast prangs an arm at an oblique angle, generating ring currents around the arm's gravity strand. The currents and rattle tend to linger, older rattle is seen in Ngc 2997, and perhaps the jack frost rattle in Ngc 1232 is recent.







Deep space surrounding M101 is saturated with gravitic seas made of gravity waves with determinatable properties for instance where the galaxy is moving into the seas the waves are concentrated more compact shorter, where the galaxy is pulling away the waves are longer wider more stretched apart. The compression/expansion follows the standard forms of doppler shifts in pitch due to motions.

The four corners









Images showing the gravitic seas around M101 are hard to come by in that one extremely enhanced image which shows them is very large (3500x3200) and far too unweildy for show and tell even in segments. A solution has been to use screen captures from the graphic editor's small preview window. These screen captures and similar are analysed in the following:

GRAVITY WAVES OBEY DOPPLER SHIFT PRINCIPLES

Gravity waves wrap
prolifically around an arm.
The rippling waves grow increasingly
high frequency (shorter wavelengths) as
the gravity waves shift into the lower
left of the image frame

 


 


   


 

 

High
frequency
short wavelengths
also dominate the upper
right quadrant. This means the
wave frequency is asymmetric, biased
toward the left (high frequency), and stretched
out loosening into more open moire on the right side of
M101 (lower frequency). This suggests M101 may be pushing
into the left range of deep space, creating a doppler
shift in gravity waves due to its own motion. Hear
a train whistle racing toward you, then
racing away. The higher then
lower pitch is a doppler
shift in sound. It
seems gravity
also obeys
doppler

The
actual
angle of motion
is to the lower left, where
frequency bunchup (increase) is most
prominent. The upper right is where the waves are
most stretching apart, expanding toward doppler lower frequency

The
original
image used for
these color tones and
'preview stereo pairs' is of a
humongous size 3500 x 3436 and the
only copy I have is this below, red. A
larger version 7000 x 6872 is available at
this Noao site. At that size it overpowers
my machine stalling it. All of the M101
images were factored using the smaller
which I have only available in
red color tone version

The
original
3500 x 3436 full
color version resides somewhere
within 55 gigs (my hard drives) nested among
some 60,000 images (I have been busy). If it ever shows up...

Converted to a histogram the sand dune waves look more specifically gravitic (image reduced to 1/3 size for display)

A RATTLE - right in the middle of a disrupted arm

The
sea of
rills undulates
behind the 'rattle', which
means likely this part of M101
is rotating away from us

 




It is
not surprising
that strong gravity waves
rap around this arm in M101. The
arm is the scene of stupendous interactions.
The rings of sights around the arm can be called a 'rattle'
because it looks like a rattle, and occur where fast travelling
objects (such as a small galaxy) have impacted the arm causing
a characteristic formation - wedding rings within a circular
saddle set at a horizontal right angle to the vertical
thickness of the arm. The rattle in M101 is easy
to see. Other galaxies can have them but
none so self apparent as the rattle
of M101. M101 has another set
of rattles in another arm
but these are harder
to see and are
not shown
above

INTRUDERS - make their own trails on a grand scale

A small hot
gob is seen up
just beyond the top of
the rattle. The gob is in a perfect
position to be the projectile which fired out into
the open from behind the left side of the core making a major
intruder trail straight up to the end as a 'jet engine' (the gob),
a 'jet engine' being a projectile firing into the open after
fast transite through undercover, the 'gob' a trashed
small galaxy or other remnant of the car wash
it got from tangling the galaxy, conversly
'intruders' can also trash the galaxy
in local telltale distinct ways,
witness the above rattle.
Another intruder has
come racing down
a valley of
its own
making
around
the right
coreside and has
come out into the open as a
jet engine, the engine's big dollop seen
spooting into the open after tunneling a short distance
through an arm. Here the mass seems too concentrated to see
anything as ephemeral as gravity waves. At the other jet
engine, in the upper arm out where things are hazy,
gravity waves involving the impact are well
defined in the light of a very weak
flux of photons

THE RATTLE HAS A SECOND LOOK

An M101
image (by NOAO)
shows just the quadrant
which has the rattle, which
means astronomers have noticed
it and do not know what it is
except there are hot new
blue stars aplenty
here except it
does not
look
like your
average everyday
neighborhood active star
field. More translucence is seen,
amidst more blurred substance structures

Cross
matching
color tones in
displaying them has
helped increase detail depth
with the images focused as one composite

Is there enough gravitational force in gravity waves to add power to the mystery of 'missing mass' around the outer reaches of galaxies? Do the waves, each, concentrated, have strong gravity power? Does this power in total have enough force to influence the velocity of a galaxy's outer arms and rims increasing their rotation speed? If gravity waves are actually made of pure energy not mass, does energy - as in E=Mc(squared) - in stupendous large quanties coherently sustained in resonant vibrations, not radiant, have its own degree of gravitational power. Questions only - not yet answers DO GRAVITY WAVES HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO INFLUENCE GALAXY ROTATION VELOCITIES

MORE GRAVITIC RILLS - IN ANOTHER M101 IMAGE

Rills
have turned
up in another M101
photo, this photo a black and
white and somewhat more scratchy, also
from Noao, but it does spring to life showing
the large size of M101 when enhanced, and when really
enhanced, rills show up, not saturating the whole
region with moire in gravitic color tones, but
still enough to let us all know that
rills are indeed out there
at M101









These
rills are
in the upper left.

In the
large view,
see rills also
in the upper right in
correct position and lay to
correspond to patterns seen in
the upper right quadrant in the
color views further above
in this page

Converted to a histogram the purple streaks look more specifically gravitic, that is, in rudimentary form, patterns can be discerned matching gravitic patterns seen in this image from an entirely different telescope and time period, meaning the patterns in both images are not spurious inputs from the telescope apparatuses (Images reduced to 1/2 and 1/3 size for display)

REMARK Astronomy literature has said M101 is so massive its gravity power is able to reach out and distort nearby galaxies. If I had means, I would already be looking at gravitic lakes and seas reaching to the nearby galaxies to see what kind of lines of force and bandwidths might be visible directly between the two galaxies (M101 and another). If coherent pattern is seen, it would mean not only that distortion of the other is taking place, but exactly what kind of distortion might be taking place. Gravitic mapping of density pockets and fluctuations might show exactly what kind of mass hot spots (strong points of center) are influencing final distortions. Etc.
