... stars in the galaxy UGC 11748. They found that most of the stars lie within a radius r = 1.64 x 1020 m and that the total mass within this radius is 1.54 x 1041 kg, or 77.4 billion times the mass of the Sun. It is expected that the stars that lie outside this radius will orbit in the same way that p ...
