Professional astronomers usually talk about Hubble's Constant in the weird units of H, = 70 km/sec/Mpc. This final unit, "Mpo" is the "Megaparsec" and it equals approximately 3 million light years. This is a powerful equation. It...

The Hubble Parameter The constant describing the rate of this recession, called the Hubble parameterHubble parameterA measure of the rate of expansion of the universe, which is the average value of the velocity of recession divided by distance: about 70 km/s/megaparsec. Hubble parameter A measure of the rate of expansion of the universe, which is the average value of the velocity of recession divided by distance: about 70 km/s/megaparsec. , is used to determine the age and size of the...

3. The observed recession velocity of a galaxy is the sum of its Hubble flow velocity, UH = Hod, and the line-of-sight (LOS) component of its peculiar velocity, vp, due to local gravitational effects. a) Suppose we measure Ho by measuring the distance and redshift for a single galaxy velocity of the galaxy?10 b) At what distance can we measure Ho to 5%? Assume the true value of Ho is 74 kin s-"Mpc-1 and a typical LOS peculiar velocity is...
The observed recession velocity of a galaxy is the sum of its Hubble flow velocity, vH = H0d, and the line-of-sight (LOS) component of its peculiar velocity, vp, due to local gravitational effects. a) Suppose we measure H0 by measuring the distance and redshift for a single galaxy. Write an expression for how the error in our measurement depends on the peculiar velocity of the galaxy? b) At what distance can we measure H0 to 5%? Assume the true value...
