If a galaxy is 8.9 Mpc away from Earth and recedes at 497 km/s, what is H. (in km/s/Mpc)? km/s/Mрс What is the Hubble time (in yr)? years How old (in yr) would the universe be, assuming space-time is flat and the expansion of the universe has not been accelerating? years How would acceleration change your answer? If the expansion of the Universe has been accelerating, the Universe could be substantially younger than the value entered above. If the expansion of the Universe has been accelerating, the Universe could be substantially older than the value entered above.
The figure below shows the spectra of two galaxies A and B.  Please can i get help  with this questions below:  1. Which of these galaxies has ongoing star formation? How can you tell?2. One of these galaxies has Hubble type E3 while the other is SBb. Which is which? What does the 3 inE3 tell you about the galaxy? What does the SB in SBb tell you about the galaxy?3. What effects would dust have on the two spectra?4. Which galaxy would you expect to have more far-infrared emission? Expl
Are the galaxies red-shifting or blue-shifting? Explain. (You may find the big-bang theory helpful). Andromeda galaxy is currently approaching our galaxy with a radial velocity of 266 km/sec. How far is our galaxy from Andromeda? (Hubble’s constant, H, is 73 km/sec/MParsec). When can the two galaxies be anticipated to collide?
