- The gas in the outer region of the Andromeda galaxy is found to be orbiting the galaxy with a velocity of 250 km/s. The gas is at a distance of 35 kpc from the center of the galaxy. The total mass of the galaxy is _______ solar masses.In the reading, you were told that there were roughly 10,000 galaxies in the image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field alone. The image is roughly 10 square arcminutes and there are roughly 1.5*10^8 square arcminutes composing the entire sky. With that in mind and assuming that the Hubble Ultra Deep Field represents an average part of the sky, roughly how many galaxies may exist in the observable universe? (Please include commas for every factor of 1,000; for example 2,343,567,890)Looking for ___ hr
- If a standard passenger aircraft can fly at 0.32 km/s (716 mph), how long (in yr) would it take to reach the sun? ______ yr How long (In yr) would it take to reach the galactic center? (Note: 1 pc = 3.1 x 10^13 km. The radius of the suns orbit around the galactic center is approximately 8,300 pc.) ______ yrT/ F The distance unit best for interstellar distances is the light-year. ___ The distance unit best for intergalactic distances is the mega-parsec. ___If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 330 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in millions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 8.7 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).
- The Universe is approximately 13.8 Billion years old. What is the volume of the visible universe in m3?A galaxy's rotation curve is a measure of the orbital speed of stars as a function of distance from the galaxy's centre. The fact that rotation curves are primarily flat at large galactocen- tric distances (vrot(r) ~ constant) is the most common example of why astronomer's believe dark matter exists. Let's work out why! Assuming that each star in a given galaxy has a circular orbit, we know that the accelera- tion due to gravity felt by each star is due to the mass enclosed within its orbital radius r and equal to v?/r. Here, ve is the circular orbit velocity of the star. (a) Show that the expected relationship between ve and r due to the stellar halo (p(r) xr-3.5) does not produce a flat rotation curve. (b) Show that a p(r) ∞ r¯² density profile successfully produces a flat ro- tation curve and must therefore be the general profile that dark matter follows in our galaxy.Figure 2 shows the "rotation curve" of NGC 2742. It plots the “radial velocity (V)" (how fast material is moving either toward or away from us) that is measured for objects at different distances (R = radius") from the center of the galaxy. The center of the galaxy is at 0 kpc (kiloparsecs) with a speed of 9 km/sec away from us. (These velocities have been corrected for the observed tilt of the galaxy and represent true orbital velocities of the stars and gas.) 200 100 U4779 -100 As you can see, one side of the galaxy is moving with a negative velocity (spinning toward us), while the other side has a positive velocity (spinning away from us). Using Newton's gravity equation, we will be able to determine the gravitational mass of the entire galaxy and how the mass varies versus distance from the galaxy's center. -200 -8 8 -4 Radius (kpc) Read the following text carefully and follow the instructions: Select five radii spaced evenly from 0-10 kpc across the galaxy.
