TiNy Titans

(TNT)
(study of dwarf galaxy pairs)

TiNy Titans (TNT) was a project to study dwarf galaxy pairs and their mergers, to learn about the evolution and development of galaxies. The galaxies studied are within the Local Volume, a sample of those identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The project also includes simulations to model the galaxies and mergers observed.

This project has no relationship with Saturn's moon, Titan.
