Galaxy spectroscopy is a branch of astronomy that focuses on studying the light emitted or absorbed by galaxies in order to understand their properties, composition, and evolutionary history. Spectroscopy involves breaking down the light from galaxies into its component wavelengths to analyze the patterns of lines or features present in the spectrum. By studying these spectra, astronomers can determine important characteristics such as the chemical composition, temperature, density, and motion of stars within a galaxy, as well as the presence of dust, gas, and other interstellar material. Galaxy spectroscopy plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies, the relationship between galaxies and the larger structure of the universe, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
