Galaxies 17 November 2006

Today : The “spiral nebulae” Measuring distances to galaxies Rotation rates and “dark matter”

Messier Catalog 27 “open” clusters 29 globular clusters 6 diffuse nebulae 4 planetary nebulae 1 supernova remnant 2 small groups of stars 40 other fuzzy things in which no individual stars are visible

The Discovery of Spiral Structure Lord Rosse, 1845

What are the spiral and elliptical nebulae? No individual stars are visible, even in largest telescopes Some have spiral structure, as if spinning rapidly Visible amount of rotation over a few decades? Continuous spectra Hypothesis 1: Swirling clouds of fluid, possibly forming new solar systems Hypothesis 2: “Island universes,” similar to our own Milky Way star system

Island Universes Confirmed! Edwin Hubble discovers Cepheid variable stars in the Andromeda Nebula, 1923 Estimated distance: 1 million light-years (actually 2 million) Edwin Hubble,
