I dont think the black whole could be moved by 27 companions? I guess it must be, but the amount would be to negligable to be measured?

I thought perhaps the black hole's gravity well, would be strong enough to attract a layer of stars around it, and then the gravity of those stars would continue to repeat the process, creating the galactic bulge in the centre. Then, further out from the centre the rotation of the galaxy would flatten out the disk? I have no idea - just wondering.

I read something a while ago about galaxies having measurable magnetic fields? Does that explain the structure?

Could our solar system be held in orbit around the core by the combined mass of the billions of stars towards its centre...
