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

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

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?
