Mergers can result in significant changes to morphology, as compared to the original galaxies.

Mergers are also unable to account for the offset from the Tully-Fisher relation without assuming the merged galaxies were quite different from those we see today.

Mergers with Daimler and Renault were also considered.

Both bids were referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission ( MMC ) which issued its conclusions and advice to government in May 1995.

Mergers between various educational institutions in South Africa were then proposed as necessary to the restructuring process.

Rupert Murdoch's News International acquired the Times titles in 1981, but the Conservative government never referred the purchase to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, mainly because the previous owners, The Thomson Corporation, had threatened to close the papers down if they were not taken over by someone else within an allotted time, and it was feared that any legal delay to Murdoch's takeover might lead to the two titles ' demise.

Mergers and acquisitions, which decreased the number of Argentine banks from nearly 300 in 1990 to fewer than 100 at the end of 1999, were expected to continue and lead to improvements in management and efficiency.

Mergers yield bonuses for the two shareholders who hold, respectively, the largest and second-largest interests in a chain.

Mergers also give each player who holds any interest at all in a chain a chance to sell his stock or to trade it in for shares of the acquiring chain.

Mergers and acquisitions ( abbreviated M & A ) is an aspect of corporate strategy, corporate finance and management dealing with the buying, selling, dividing and combining of different companies and similar entities that can help an enterprise grow rapidly in its sector or location of origin, or a new field or new location, without creating a subsidiary, other child entity or using a joint venture.

Mergers are generally differentiated from acquisitions partly by the way in which they are financed and partly by the relative size of the companies.

Mergers and acquisitions often create brand problems, beginning with what to call the company after the transaction and going down into detail about what to do about overlapping and competing product brands.

" Mergers of local congregations and use of the term " Unitarian-Universalist " in printed publicity date from 1932 or earlier.

Mergers and acquisitions have gradually become an important channel of investments in the economy, especially after 2005.

* Mergers of the low back vowels.

By 1971 the firm had established its Mergers & Acquisitions business along with Sales & Trading.

Mergers and joint agreements of professional football, hockey, baseball, and basketball leagues are exempt.

P & O objected and forced the issue to the British Monopolies and Mergers Commission.

:"... thanks to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the business is about to get: bigger ... Mergers, takeovers and acquisitions are becoming the norm in the television: industry.

Mergers enabled tighter: control of information ... The Latin American writer Eduardo Galeano: commented ..." Never have so many been held incommunicado by so few.

Media Mergers have become more prevalent in recent years, which has people wondering about the negative effects that could be caused by media ownership becoming more concentrated.

Several photographs and charts of galaxies help the non-scientist keep up with the discussion, and the smooth language indicates the contributors were determined to avoid the jargon that seems to work its way into almost every field.

In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that the distances to far away galaxies were generally proportional to their redshifts — an idea originally suggested by Lemaître in 1927.

In 1912 Vesto Slipher measured the first Doppler shift of a " spiral nebula " ( spiral nebula is the obsolete term for spiral galaxies ), and soon discovered that almost all such nebulae were receding from Earth.

In 1924 Edwin Hubble's measurement of the great distance to the nearest spiral nebulae showed that these systems were indeed other galaxies.

Due to the difficulty of using these methods, they did not realize that the nebulae were actually galaxies outside our own Milky Way, nor did they speculate about the cosmological implications.

Hubble showed that the spiral nebulae were galaxies by determining their distances using measurements of the brightness of Cepheid variable stars.

In July 2012, lensing observations were used to identify a " filament " of dark matter between two clusters of galaxies, as cosmological simulations have predicted.

Together with fellow staff-member Kent Ford, Rubin announced at a 1975 meeting of the American Astronomical Society the discovery that most stars in spiral galaxies orbit at roughly the same speed, which implied that their mass densities were uniform well beyond the locations with most of the stars ( the galactic bulge ), a result independently found in 1978.

Eventually other astronomers began to corroborate her work and it soon became well-established that most galaxies were in fact dominated by " dark matter ":

His observations, made in 1922 – 1923, proved conclusively that these nebulae were much too distant to be part of the Milky Way and were, in fact, entire galaxies outside our own.

Likewise Seyfert galaxies were suspected to be industrial accidents because their enormous and directed energy output had no initial explanation.

The primordial fluctuations gravitationally attracted gas and dark matter to the denser areas, and thus the seeds that would later become galaxies were formed.

Thus the first galaxies were then formed.

Essentially early on in the universe galaxies were composed mostly of gas and dark matter, and thus, there were fewer stars.

The realization that we live in a galaxy, and that there were, in fact, many other galaxies, parallels discoveries that were made about the Milky Way and other nebulae in the night sky.

These were the first galaxies other than the Milky Way to be observed from Earth.

Starburst galaxies were more common during the early history of the universe, and, at present, still contribute an estimated 15 % to the total star production rate.

After galaxies external to the Milky Way were found to exist, initial observations were made mostly using visible light.
