Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Absorption lines produced by interstellar gas a. are wider than the lines from stars because the gas is hotter than most stars. b. are more narrow than the lines from stars because the gas has a lower pressure than stars. c. indicate that the interstellar medium contains dust. d. indicate that the interstellar medium is expanding away from the sun. e. indicate nothing; none of the above statements are true.Molecular clouds composed mostly of hydrogen molecules have been detected in interstellar space. The molecular density in these clouds is about 1E10 molecules*m-3, and their temperature is around 25 K. What is the pressure (in bar) inside such a cloud? Enter your answer in accordance with the question statement barAbsorption lines produced when starlight travels through the interstellar medium indicate that some components of the interstellar medium are cold and of a very low density because a. the lines are blueshifted. b. the lines are redshifted. c. the lines are extremely broad. d. the lines are extremely narrow. e. the lines are much darker than the stellar lines.
- Radio maps of our galaxy show spiral arms because a. the arms have larger Doppler shifts. b. the gas in the spiral arms is very hot. c. the dust in spiral arms is denser. d. the gas in spiral arms is denser. e. the stars in the spiral arms emit most of their energy at radio wavelengths.A) A typical dust grain has a radius of about 0.1 micrometers and a mass of 10-14 grams. Roughly how many dust particles are in a cloud containing 1000 Msun of dusty gas if 1% of the cloud's mass is in the form of dust grains? B) What surface area would be covered by these grains if you put them side by side? Assume these grains are spherical. Answer in square light-years. C) Estimate the total surface area covered by the cloud assuming it's matter density is like that of a typical molecular cloud, about 10-21 g/cm3 (Hint: first calculate the clouds volume from it's mass and density, then determine its radius using the formula for volume of a sphere) Answer in square light-years. D) Comparing all above answers, What are the chances (very roughly) that a photon passing through the cloud will hit a dust grain?Why are we unlikely to find Earth-like planets around halo stars in the Galaxy? A. Halo stars formed in a different way from disk stars. B. Planets around stars are known to be extremely rare. C. Halo stars formed in an environment where there were few heavy elements to create rocky planets. D. Halo stars do not have enough mass to hold onto planets. Is the answer C? Since halo stars are formed early when the galaxy consisted of mainly hydrogen and helium, there are no heavier elements available to create Earth-like planets so just halo stars are formed? Thanks!

Your spacecraft arrives in the new system, in which there are five planets. ROTOR is identical to the Sun (in terms of its size, mass, age and composition).

- 1. A planetary nebula has an angular diameter of 76 arc seconds and a distance of 5100 ly. What is its linear diameter (in ly)? Hint: Use the small-angle formula: angular diameter (in arc seconds) 2.06 ✕ 105 = linear diameter distance 2. Suppose a planetary nebula is 3.2 pc in diameter, and Doppler shifts in its spectrum show that the planetary nebula is expanding at 31 km/s. How old is the planetary nebula in yr? (Note: 1 pc = 3.1 ✕ 1013 km and 1 yr = 3.2 ✕ 107 s.)3. Brown dwarfs are ____. a. stars with a very thick dust sphere around them, so they appear “brown” b. low mass M type stars with hundreds of planets c. an anomaly because they are extremely small but have relatively high temperature d. protostars that could not ignite the fusion of hydrogen at their core e. has a surface temperature of 2500 K by fusing hydrogen I asked this question onece already, but the answer I got said the answer was C because "AT 2700K THEY ARE HOT" or something to that effect. I tried to find a way to reply to that thread. My argument was that even if brown dwarfs were 2700k (and my book says that's closer to the temperature of red dwarfs and that brown dwarfs are usually around 1000K). Seeing that we are studying the life cycle and evolution of all stars, wouldn't either of those temperatures be on the relatively COOL side of all star temperatures? Wouldn't the most appropriate answer be D.?Radio maps of the spiral arms of our galaxy a. reveal that our galaxy is a grand design spiral. b. map the location of hot O and B stars by the radio radiation they emit. c. reveal that the spiral arms are winding up and growing closer together. d. reveal that the sun is currently located in the center of a spiral arm. e. map the location of dense neutral hydrogen clouds.
