- Is the appearance of a quasar changing over time a sign that it has entered a new physical state, or are these objects just the extreme outliers of quasars at low activity?The Perseus-pices supercluster of galaxies is 64 Mpc from Earth. How long (in years) does it take light from the supercluster to reach Earth?Imagine that an observed distant galaxy is measured to have a distance of 20 Mpc by a Type Ia supernovae and the redshift of the galaxy indicates the galaxy appears to be moving away from us at a speed of 2200 km/s. What would the Hubble constant be if measured solely based on this galaxy in units of km/s/Mpc?
- Certain spiral galaxy is 9.9 Mpc away from us. How fast in km/s is this galaxy moving away from us? Note: Assume a value of the Hubble constant of 71.1 km/s/MpcIf a galaxy has an apparent radial velocity of 2000 km/s and the Hubble constant is 70 km/s/Mpc, how far away is the galaxy?Suppose you have obtained spectra of several galaxies and have measuerd the observed wavelength of the H-Alpha line (rest wavelength = 656.3 nm) to be Galaxy 1: 658.1 nm. Galaxy 2: 667.1 nm. Galaxy 3: 677.6 nm. Assuming a Hubble Constant of 72.5 km/s/Mpc, calculate the distance to each of these galaxies (answer in Mpc)

What is the smallest mass that the quasar could have and still continue to pull surrounding gas into itself?If a quasar is 1,640 times more luminous than an entire galaxy, what is the absolute magnitude of such a quasar? (Note: The absolute magnitude of the Milky Wag Galaxy is about -21. Use the formula for magnitude and flux ratio, Mv - Ma = 2.5log(Fa\Fb)).
- 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.
