- 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?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)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)
- Distance Based on the graph above, the expansion rate of galaxies near us is than galaxies that are farther away. O faster slower O the same rate VelocityPlease solve page 3 and 4 using the table below NGC NO.

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…
- If Hubble’s constant is taken to be 70 ??? ???, and a quasar is found to have a radial velocity equal to 95% of the speed of light, how far is the quasar in Mpc? (Hint: Use Hubble’s Law and solve for the distance; and the speed of light in vacuum is: ?=3.0×105 ??/?).The hydrogen Balmer line has a wavelength of 486.1 nm. It is shifted to 565 nm in a galaxy's spectrum. What is the radial velocity (in km/s) of the galaxy? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)Can someone help with this?
