A Type la supernova explodes in a galaxy at a
distance of 6.10×107 light-years from Earth. If
astronomers detect the light from the
supernova today, how many years T have
passed since the supernova exploded? T=
2.07 x10 -5 years Given a Hubble constant of
74.3 km/s/Mpc, at what speed v is this galaxy
moving away from Earth? v= km/s What is
this galaxy's redshift? redshift:
Briefly discuss and compare the three general types of galaxies.
The Milky Way grew through merging with many smaller galaxies. What are the observational signatures of this process?
O The motion of old stars in the bulge and halo of our galaxy are randomly orientated, meaning they were formed from collisions of small,
accreted, galaxies all on different paths.
O The ordered motion of the bulge / halo stars means that they came from many objects.
The random motions of stars in the disk means it was formed from collisions of small, accreted, galaxies.
O The motion of young stars in the disk are all in the same direction, meaning they came in as seperate objects.

- Suppose the stars in an elliptical galaxy all formed within a few million years shortly after the universe began. Suppose these stars have a range of masses, just as the stars in our own galaxy do. How would the color of the elliptical change over the next several billion years? How would its luminosity change? Why?arrow_forwardWe can detect 21-cm emission from other galaxies as well as from our own Galaxy. However, 21-cm emission from our own Galaxy fills most of the sky, so we usually see both at once. How can we distinguish the extragalactic 21-cm emission from that arising in our own Galaxy? (Hint: Other galaxies are generally moving relative to the Milky Way.)arrow_forwardBased on your analysis of galaxies in Table 26.1, is there a correlation between the population of stars and the quantity of gas or dust?

(Convert answers to feet.)arrow_forwardSuppose the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy merges completely with the Milky Way and adds 150,000 stars to it. Estimate the percentage change in the mass of the Milky Way. Will this be enough mass to affect the orbit of the Sun around the galactic center?
