1 Astronomy 100 What’s in a Galaxy

2 Now: Go to http://beta.galaxyzoo.org/Index.aspx Register. Goal: – Understand the different types of Galaxies – Know the features of galaxies – Catch the little details about galaxies we haven’t covered yet. – Coordinate meeting at PSC next Wednesday Vocabulary: Rotation curve, Megaparsec, Hubble law, Gravitational lensing, Clusters of galaxies, Interacting galaxies, Active galactic nuclei, quasars, Seyfert Galaxies, Supermassive Black Holes, Jets – again!

3 Types of Galaxies What types of galaxies did you notice? What features did you notice in the galaxies?

4 Star Clusters Globulars – in the halo – oldsters Open – in the disk – younger

10 Rotation Curve http://pppa.group.shef.ac.uk/dm/images/rota tionCurve.jpg http://pppa.group.shef.ac.uk/dm/images/rota tionCurve.jpg

11 Great DM Lecture: http://bustard.phys.nd.edu/Phys171/lectures/ dm.html http://bustard.phys.nd.edu/Phys171/lectures/ dm.html

12 Hubble’s Law Remember red shift? Everything is redshifted - more if it’s further away The Universe is Expanding.

13 Gravitational Lensing http://www.windows.ucar.edu/the_universe/i mages/ab2218_sm.jpg http://www.windows.ucar.edu/the_universe/i mages/ab2218_sm.jpg

17 Active Galactic Nuclei Seyfert Galaxies (active core) Quasars (really far away, really bright) Radio Galaxies Starburst Galaxies (bright arms/disk) Powered by supermassive black holes? Jets – again!

18 Answer Now (draw or describe): Tell me about the different types of galaxies or Tell me about the common features of galaxies Define 1: Rotation curve, Megaparsec, Hubble law, Gravitational lensing, Clusters of galaxies, Interacting galaxies, Active galactic nuclei, quasars, Seyfert Galaxies, Supermassive Black Holes, Jets Before You Leave: How are you getting to PSC next Wednesday?
