- 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/MpcCalculate the Hubble constant for a universe which is 10 billion years old.
- 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)A galaxy is observed to recede at speed 140 km/s. If the Hubble constant is 70 km/s/ Mpc, how far is the galaxy?Calculate the Hubble constant for a universe that is 20 billion years old.
- A galaxy is observed to have emission lines of blue hydrogen lines of 434 nm. If the galaxy has a a recessional velocity of 0.916c calculate the observed wavelength.Using a value for Hubble's constant of 71 km/s per Mpc, find the distance of a galaxy that is receding at a velocity of 1600 km/s.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. Your selections should…
