- Astronomy question: Answer correctly and read the questions corretly, this is all one quesiton if done correclty and organized I will write a very nice review about you! 1. How did Edwin Hubble measure the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy? He deduced it from its redshift. He measured its parallax. He used Cepheid variables in the Andromeda Galaxy. He used white dwarf supernovae in the Andromeda Galaxy.arrow_forwardPlease solve all three sub-parts accurate and exact. Thanks I'll rate it up.arrow_forwardexplain each physics formula by saying what each variable means/stands for and explain the formula as a whole, please.arrow_forward
- State the definition for a parsec, and derive its value in terms of As- tronomical Units. Convert your answer for the value of the distance of a parsec in Astronomical Units into light years. Be sure to include a large and clearly labeled diagram showing how you arrived at your conclusions. Be sure to show all work!arrow_forwardPlease Explain The hotness of stars goes up to millions of degrees Celsius. The coldness of gases can go as low as -273.15 o C. How do you explain the absence of symmetry between hot and cold? Is it possible that there is also a limit to the hotness of any object in the universe? Show your step-by-step solutions.arrow_forwardUsing MBH = 6.6 × 10 Mo, calculate the below. a. Find radius of the Schwarzschild sphere (Schwarzschild radius Rs). You can calculated from the appropriate formula or just use the fact that for an object of 1 solar mass Rs = 3 km. b. Express Rs in km, in AU, in parsecs. c. Using the distance to M87 and your result above, find angular radius of the SMBH (Schwarzschild radius). Express it in arcseconds (") and micro- arcseconds (pas) d. Take the radius of Pluto's orbit equal to 40 AU and find its angular size (in micro-arcseconds, pas) at the distance of M87.arrow_forward

Describe the ob- servational evidence that supports the idea that the Universe is pervaded by Dark Energy, and explain why each piece of evidence you cite supports the Dark Energy model.arrow_forwardRead the questions slowly and answer with precise and long details about each of the questions. Answer correctly and follow my guidelines for a long and wonderful review after results. Your target/main observable galaxy is the whirlpool galaxy. Target: Whirlpool Galaxy Object Type: Galaxy Distance: 37 million light-years Constellation: Canes VenaticiDO NOT COPY AND PASTE OTHER WORK OR THINGS FROM THE INTERNET, use your own words. In 500 words, compare and contrast the specific object to at least 2 other objects in its sourceclass (eg. if it's an isolated star, to different types of isolated stars). Explain both observational andphysical differences, as well as what the comparison teaches us about the source class in general.arrow_forward
- The figure below shows the spectra of two galaxies A and B. Please can i get help with this questions below: 1. Which of these galaxies has ongoing star formation? How can you tell?2. One of these galaxies has Hubble type E3 while the other is SBb. Which is which? What does the 3 inE3 tell you about the galaxy? What does the SB in SBb tell you about the galaxy?3. What effects would dust have on the two spectra?4. Which galaxy would you expect to have more far-infrared emission? Explarrow_forwardIndicate whether the following statements are true or false. (Select T-True, F-False. If the first is T and the rest F, enter TFFFFF). A) The nearest large spiral Galaxy, similar in size to the Milky Way, is the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It is located about 2 million light years from Earth. B) On very large scales, matter in the Universe is distributed in clumps and voids. C) RR Lyrae and Cepheid variable stars are used to measure the distance to nearby galaxies. D) Distances to most stars in the Milky Way are measured by parallax. E) If we find an O type star in our galaxy, it must be in the disk. F) The disk of the Milky Way galaxy is about 1,000,000 light years in diameter.arrow_forwardRead all the instructions carefully then answer. Kindly give me a detailed answer in a clear handwriting of the subparts ,e,f and g by mentioning the subpart's name. It is one whole question. All the subparts are related. Take your time solving this. I am attaching the full question but I only need e,f and g (in details). All the questions are related. This is my fourth time uploading these questions as I got wrong answers previously. So kindly answer this one by following the given instructions. I am strictly forbading to give the answers of subpart a and b. This is my fourth time uploading this question and everytime you are giving me answers of a,b and c. I will upvote if the answer is correct. Thank you.arrow_forward
