PPT-The Milky Way and Other Galaxies

Recap Canvas homework due on Wednesday Lab this week Galaxy Morphology Campus Observatory Milky Way galaxy Stars brightnesses masses sizes compositions evolution Interstellar matter gas dust. (Resolved by Galileo). Milky Way:. Galactic Structure and Dynamics. Milky Way has spiral structure. . Galactic Bulge surrounds the Center. . Powerful radio source Sagittarius A at Center. C. ontains Super-Massive Black Hole . The Milky Way Galaxy. When you look into the hazy band of light across the sky, you are actually looking at our galaxy from the inside. While an awesome sight, you can only truly begin to see it if you get away from city lights on a moonless night. . Galaxy. part 2. Unit: . Galaxies. Star systems like our Milky Way. Contain a few thousand to tens of billions of stars.. Large variety of shapes and sizes. Galaxy Diversity. The Hubble Deep Field:. Mini-University 2013. Our Milky Way . in Space and Time. Our Journey…. Where in the Galaxy Are We?. The Local Neighborhood. Top Milky Way Destinations!. The Dark Heart of the Galaxy. Formation of the Milky Way. http://www.pa.uky.edu. Only 10% of the class has completed the evaluations so far.. I will add 5 points on your final exam if you complete the evaluation.. Today’s model for the formation of the Milky Way and other galaxies. Ms. Cordaro . SMHS . Earth Science. Review/Warm up – Write this in your journal. (Do not fill in the blanks yet!!). A light year = How far _ _ _ _ _ travels in _ _ _ year.. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of different size _ _ _ _ _ that produce _ _ _ _ _ _ in the form of radiation.. Aug. 24 -- 10am class. Turn in HW 1 in the front of the room. If you didn’t get HW 1 on Monday, turn it in on Friday.. If you didn’t get the telescope lab on Monday, pick it up from Johanna.. . Loners. Interactions were once . believed to be unimportant . and rare.. Galaxies were thought to . be . isolated loners. , well . separated from one . another . a. nd scarcely interacting.. Au Contraire!. Spiral Structure. . The Astronomical Context. By the 1920’s, we knew that the once-mysterious spiral nebulae were flattened galaxies. . Our Milky . Way is . also. flattened. . Two obvious . questions arose:. Contains more than 100 billion stars. Is one of the two largest among 40 galaxies in the Local Group. Our Solar System is located a little more than half way from the galactic center to the edge of the galactic disk.. Lecture 2; . April 9 2013. Previously.. On Astro-2. The goal of cosmology is to understand how the universe formed and evolved.. How can we build a theory of the universe valid at all times in every place? . Let’s look back at the rotational velocity equation:. v = (M. interior. G/r). 0.5. The rotational velocity is constant at big r values.. What must we conclude?. The mass interior to the orbit is still increasing. Even after the radius r has gone beyond the last of the stars. It must be increasing in order to hold v constant.. Galaxies (part I) . T. Howard. The Galaxy – part I -- Overview. New distance unit: the . parsec. (pc).. Using Earth-orbit parallax, if a star has a . parallactic. angle of 1",. it is 1 pc away. . The astonishing variety of galaxies derived from a few structural types. Sec 1.3. Irregulars. = misfits in any class. Edwin Hubble . The Realm of the Nebulae . (1936. ). ‘. Tuning Fork’ classification scheme of galaxies.
