The unavoidable conclusion is that if the young stars well inside the central parsec were formed locally, then they must have done so by a different mechanism than the collapse of self gravitating cold molecular gas clouds that occurs in normal star forming regions.

Yes, and this happens in every Galaxy, and it happens right from the beginning!

Hello RussT,
Thanks Russ. That is a interesting set of astronomical pictures. There should be some sort of relationship between a galaxy's massive compact object and the blue compact dwarf galaxies. I am going to look for more information.

Much about blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies remains mysterious, such as how the neutral hydrogen obtained its shape, what drives current star formation, and why there is so much dark matter. NGC 2915 is located at the relatively nearby distance of 15 million light-years - just outside our Local Group of Galaxies.
