Consider a spiral galaxy that is moving directly away from Earth with a speed V = 3.040×105 m/s at its center, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The galaxy is also rotating about its center, so that points in its spiral arms are moving with a speed v = 6.650×105 m/s relative to the center. If light with a frequency of 8.213×1014 Hz is emitted in both arms of the galaxy, what frequency is detected by astronomers observing the arm...

A density wave made up of two spiral arms is moving through the Galactic disk. At the 8-kpc radius of the Sun’s orbit around the Galactic center, the wave’s speed is 120 km/s and the Galactic rotation speed is 220 km/s. Calculate how many times the Sun has passed through a spiral arm since forming 4.6 billion years ago.

Assume the validity of Freeman’s law and consider a spiral galaxy with central surface brightness µo = 21.5 mag/arcsec2 at a distance of 16 Mpc from Earth. a) If the absolute magnitude of the Sun in the B-band is M_B = 5.54, calculate the central surface brightness of the galaxy in terms of Solar luminosities per square parsec. b) The disk of the galaxy is observed to have an exponential surface brightness with angular scale length θR = 50 arcseconds....

Describe the difference in how astronomers believe spiral and elliptical galaxies are formed. What sort of collisions take place in the formation of each type? When we look at the blackbody spectrum of an entire regular galaxy at once, we see a spectrum that looks like a brighter version of the spectrum of a star. But the spectrum of an active galaxy looks different. How is it different and what is the cause of this extra radiation?

1.Elliptical galaxies tend to be redder in colour than spiral galaxies. Why is this? Question 10 options: A.The dust in spiral galaxies preferentially reflects blue light making the galaxy look bluer B.Elliptical galaxies have more dust which reddens the light from them. C.Elliptical galaxies have no star formation and are made of cooler, older stars. D.Elliptical galaxies are farther away so their light is red shifted more 2. Dark energy is responsible for what aspect of the universe? A.The accelerated...
