- What is the difference between hot dark matter and cold dark matter? How does this difference affect cosmology?arrow_forwardSuppose 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_forwardBriefly describe the main parts of our Galaxy.arrow_forward
- What is the most useful probe of the early evolution of the universe: a giant elliptical galaxy or an irregular galaxy such as the Large Magellanic Cloud? Why?arrow_forwardSuppose we could measure the distance to a galaxy using one of the distance techniques listed in Table 26.2 and it turns out to be 200 million light-years. The galaxy’s redshift tells us its recessional velocity is 5000 km/s. What is the Hubble constant?arrow_forwardWhat is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?arrow_forward
- Based 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? Explain why this might be.arrow_forwardIf the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxys visible disk, 80,000 ly, is represented in a model by a dinner plate with a diameter of 10 inches, what is the model distance to galaxy M31, 2.6 millionly away?
