14 Distant Galaxies Can’t see individual stars. Can use nearby galaxies to get distances to further galaxies. Distance ladder: –Parallax nearby stars –Nearby stars H-R diagram –H-R diagram distant stars (variables) –Variable stars nearby galaxies –Nearby galaxies ?

14 21cm Radiation Neutral hydrogen (HI) gives off radiation at 21cm. Milky Way HI emission – Copyright J. Dickey
31
14 Extragalactic HI Observe HI in other galaxies. Measure wavelength of 21 cm radiation. Get velocity away from us.
32
14 Hubble’s Law Measure the velocity of every galaxy. Nearly all are redshifted. Use Cepheids to measure distances to nearby galaxies. Result: The faster it’s moving, the farther away it is.
