Ml driven prediction of collision of milky way & andromeda

Abstract

The 3D position of Sun with respect to the galactic center of Milky Way can be used to understand its evolution. After Milky Way collides with Andromeda(M31), the same will hold true. Ensuing sections deal with the implementation of Regressive Analysis to predict the location of Sun in the galactic center after Galactic collision. This model utilizes results of previous studies of black hole mergers to predict the resultant mass of Sagittarius A* and M31’s black hole, which had been found to be (1.49±0.16) × 108 M☉. This mass has been used to calculate the centrifugal force that Sun might experience during and after the galactic collision. The current position, inclination, and velocity of Sun (derived from aforementioned predictions) have been used to predict its distance and inclination after the collision which has been predicted as 63,362.83 ly and 32.75o, from the new galactic center and its plane (97.48% and 96.32% accurate) respectively.
