CH 8-Properties of Galaxies-Assignment

Document Content and Description Below

Add a detailed explanation which describes the key properties of the galaxies assigned to each row of your mosaic (such as “Row #1: Galaxies have a uniform golden color, no clear features or subst... ructures, and elliptical shapes.”). If there were particular cases which you found most perplexing (such as a galaxy that seemed to belong equally well to two rows), make a note of them as well. (For example, “The last galaxy on the right in row #2 could have gone in row #3 as well, if I prioritized shape over color.”)When you have sorted the galaxies to your satisfaction, save a JPG-format copy of the mosaic and add it to your lab report here.. Galaxy #2 is far less luminous than our Milky Way. How many galaxies of this luminosity would you need to match the light output of the Milky Way? Consider the total B-V color measured across all of Galaxy #4. What value do you find if you reduce the size of the ellipse to contain just the bright golden nucleus of the galaxy? What types of galaxies have this B-V color overall? [Show More]
