Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
Where are most to the Milky Way’s globular clusters found? (a) in the disk (b) in the bulge (e) in the halo
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
The location where globular clusterin the Milky Way can be found.
Answer to Problem 1QQ
The option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Milky Way is the galaxy containing our solar system. It's faded and a hazy band of thick clouds with many stars embedded in it. It is a spiral galaxy. It contains few hundred of globular clusters.
Globular cluster is a group of closely located stars. Globular clusters are located near galactic core.The stars in the globular cluster are tightly bounded by gravity because of which their appearance is spherical.Globular clusters are found in the halo near the galactic center, Thus, option (c) is correct.

- Please answer part 2 and 5 (highlighted questions). Show all work and circle your final answers. Thank you in advanced.arrow_forward5) The second image on the next page shows a UV image of a nearby galaxy (left) and an optical image of the same galaxy (right). Not counting the central core of the galaxy, where do the hottest stars tend to live? Again discounting the central core, is there a pattern to where the cooler stars tend to live? Explain your reasoning for both responsesarrow_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
- Urgent please.the question was solved here.thank you so much in advancearrow_forwardThe surface brightness profiles of spiral galaxy disks follow the Sersic formula with n = 1. How much fainter is the spiral galaxy at a radius of r compared to the r0, or in other words, what is the ratio of I(r)/I0. Express your answer in scientific notation with zero decimal places. Values: r = 19 r0arrow_forwardAs we discussed, clouds are made of a great many small drops. Really - a great many. Imagine a liquid cloud that fills a volume of 1 km3. The clouds contains 100 drops per cubic centimeter; for the sake of argument assume that each is 10 microns (micrometers) in radius. A. How many drops does the cloud contain? Compare this to a big number - say, the number of stars in the galaxy. B. What mass of water does the cloud contain? Compare this to something big - elephants, trucks, that sort of thing. C. What fraction of the cloud volume is filled with condensed water? One way to approach this is to compare the density of the suspended liquid water to the density of the surrounding air. D. How many 1 mm drizzle drops could you make from all the cloud drops? E. How much energy was released when this water condensed from vapor to liquid? If the water condensed in 20 minutes (a reasonable lifetime for a small cloud), what was the (energy per time)? powerarrow_forward
- 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_forwardPart A Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). The star-gas-star cycle will keep the Milky Way looking just as bright in 100 million years as it looks now. This statement does not make sense. The blowouts of gas from the disc will deplete the gas from the disc of the Milky Way in abiut 10 million years This statement makes sense. Disk of the Milky Way consist enough gas to sustain a few billion years of star formation. This statement makes sense. Most of the bright stars of spiral arms have light expentancies significantly greater than 100 million years. This statement does not make sense. The brightest stars of spiral arms of the Milky Way have life expentancies of about 10 million years. Submit Request Answerarrow_forwardPlease answer this within 30 mins to get a thumbs up!
