If the Hubble constant is 70 km/s/ Mpc, how far is the galaxy?Suppose a quasar has a luminosity of 1012 LO. What is the smallest mass that the quasar could have and still continue to pull surrounding gas into itself?
- The Virgo cluster has a distance of about 17 Mpc from the earth. Using Hubble's law, determine the recessional velocity Vr to this cluster.What evidence can you cite that pulsars are neutron stars?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.
