NET Angular Momentum of Globular cluster of stars
Is the NET angular momentum of a globular cluster of stars, zero?
e.g. Omega Centauri or M13 for example. Is the NET angular momentum of an elliptical galaxy and or the central bulge of a spiral, zero or close to zero..........oblate spheroids might have a net angular momentum if the oblate geometry is due to rotation in a single direction. But if it's due to net rotation 50 / 50 in two opposite directions, again, there would be no net angular momentum, right? rt [[Mod. note -- I think the answers are Yes (or very close to zero), Yes, and Yes (respectively). -- jt]] |
